Dinosaurs: feathers, teeth and claws
In this Museum educator-led program, students will use fossil evidence and critical thinking skills to compare features of living animals to dinosaurs.
This program takes place within Burra, the Australian Museum's new learning space. The programs and resources have been specially designed or sourced to enable group work, hands-on experiences, exploration and open-ended questioning, which foster collaboration and critical thinking. The program will be facilitated by a Museum educator, and we strongly encourage teacher, parent and guardian participation.
