Explorers: Ourselves and Other Animals
Students discover an amazing world with the Explorers challenge.
This activity is free and has curriculum links appropriate for Reception and KS1 students.
Encourage pupils to engage with specimens through role-play, donning hats and binoculars and taking up a self-guided Explorer challenge through the Museum.
Activities are designed to encourage scientific enquiry and observation while appealing to the imagination and sense of adventure.
Divide your class into groups, each with an adult leader who can explain activities and encourage observation and discussion. Teachers and accompanying adults will be given activity instruction booklets to help them support the learning experience.
