What will my pupils do?

• Step into the shoes of a palaeontologist: handle replica fossils, use interactive displays, and discover how scientists study ancient life
• Explore digital projections and reconstructions of ancient habitats, bringing extinct giants to life
• Learn about today’s giant animals (elephants, whales, gorillas) and the challenges they face, highlighting conservation and environmental stewardship
