Education & Communities
To celebrate the BBC’s Planet Dinosaur season, National Museums Liverpool and BBC Learning are working in partnership to help school children explore palaeontology and the study of dinosaur remains in a very practical and educational way.
This dinosaur experience will be an opportunity for pupils working along side BBC Learning staff and museum education demonstrators to reconstruct a life-size juvenile Spinosaurus skeleton.
These learning sessions are a rare opportunity to work closely with the BBC Learning staff and World Museum’s education demonstrators. We expect them to be in demand, so please book your place now to avoid disappointment by calling 0151 478 4788 or emailing our education bookings team.
More species of dinosaurs have been discovered in the last decade than over the preceding 200 years and many of these discoveries are from places we never realised even had dinosaurs. The opening up of China, exploration in the Arctic and the Antarctic and prospecting in the Sahara has led to the discovery of a new generation of dinosaurs.
This autumn BBC One, CBBC and BBC Learning will bring these incredible new dinosaurs to life, encouraging audiences to take their own investigative journey into the fascinating world of palaeontology.
Through ground-breaking broadcast and supporting interactive multiplatform and face-to-face learning experiences, the BBC will open up the science behind the dinosaurs and encourage the audience to discover hands-on how we know so much about how these creatures looked and behaved.
Additional educational activities will include:
All the sessions are based in World Museum and pupils will be encouraged to explore the galleries and the award-winning Clore Natural History Centre, where you can get up close and personal with a whole range of real dinosaur remains and a host of life-size replicas. There will also be a chance to meet and chat to our resident dinosaur experts and handle the museum’s extensive collection of fossilised dinosaur poo!
The 45 minute sessions as well as being very practical in nature also link extensively to the knowledge, skills and understanding required by programmes of study for the National Curriculum. Planet Dinosaur has direct links to Sc1 Scientific enquiry; Sc2 Life processes and living things; Design and Technology.
