Cutting Edge workshop

Find out how animal teeth are related to diet in this free weekend family workshop.

In the interactive Cutting Edge workshop families will:

  • handle, observe and compare a variety of animal skulls in order to identify different shapes of teeth
  • use and develop scientific knowledge to understand how the shape of teeth makes them useful for different purposes

Held in the Marine Invertebrates gallery, the workshops are ideal for families with children of primary school age; older and younger family members will be welcomed.

Each workshop runs for around 45 minutes.
