Activities

Become a palaeontologist
Go under the sea and unearth real fossils. Find out what these tell us about life millions of years ago and what we know about the people who found them. Observe, enquire, identify, record, classify and present your findings (and have a chance to meet famous fossil hunter Mary Anning).

Jurassic Clay Creatures and their Habitats

Get crafty and model a Jurassic sea creature out of clay. Then make a paper craft habitat for your creature to safely live in.
