KS3: Who works at the Museum?
A classroom activity for Key Stage 3 students
In this activity you take the role of a scientist, news reporter or radio interviewer to give a presentation about how scientists in the Darwin Centre study biodiversity.
During your visit to the Cocoon experience at the Darwin Centre, gather information to use later in your presentation.
When you arrive at the Museum you are given free booklets to help your investigation. You can also use your NaturePlus card to store information to access later online.
Back at school you will present what you found out in the form of a science conference, bulletin or radio show, in groups or individually.
