Dinosaurs Uncovered: Teacher Familiarisation

Join us to uncover the bones of our latest exhibition, Dinosaurs Uncovered in a unique after-hours event designed for professional learning!

Join our Learning and Engagement team for a free professional learning session exploring the exhibition’s content, curriculum connections and learning opportunities.
The in-person session begins in our Learning Studios with an introduction from the team. You will then have time to explore Dinosaurs Uncovered on Level One, speak with fellow educators and enjoy refreshments and entertainment at our Friday Night Bar Before Time.

Dinosaurs Uncovered reveals how scientists use fossil evidence to understand a world that existed millions of years before humans. Explore how palaeontologists analyse fossils and rocks to reconstruct Late Cretaceous environments and the creatures that inhabited their skies, lands and waters. 

Experience a fossil dig, follow the process used to reconstruct dinosaur skeletons and see how digital technology helps scientists bring these prehistoric animals to life in extraordinary detail.

Dinosaurs Uncovered supports learning across science, digital technology and STEM. It offers students an insight into palaeontology fieldwork and the use of digital technologies to support scientific understanding.
