Distance LearningUp Close and Palaeo Jr.
Just how big was the biggest dinosaur? What sort of plants did Triceratops like to eat? Did trilobites live during the Age of Dinosaurs? Questions like these, and more, are answered as a Science Educator tackles your students' toughest palaeontological ponderings. Prior to the program, students develop curriculum-based questions with your guidance within the provided categories. Animations, video clips and images support the responses to the topics covered, and fossils are viewed through our desktop camera.
