Join us on a quest back in time! Your class will use their scientific skills to discover more about dinosaurs and the world they lived in.
Learning shows in our Attenborough Studio are a perfect introduction to or recap of nature-based topics. Audiences will be seated in an amphitheatre style space and the show will be presented by one of our expert educators.
Pupils and their teachers will be encouraged to participate throughout.
Show outline
At the start of our adventure, your class will learn about fossils, time scales and how environments change.
As we travel to different time periods they will learn about footprints, teeth, diets, food chains and poo! Plus, we meet a very special guest…
Towards the end of our journey, your class are faced with a final challenge to put all their scientific skills and knowledge together, before heading back to the present day and to think about the future of the planet.
