Dinosaur Takeover week

During Dinosaur Takeover Week, children will be immersed in the world of dinosaurs as they investigate fantastic fossils, the work of a palaeontologist, dinosaur food chains and reptile remains.

Run in partnership with the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol.

Children will:

• Meet university experts
• Ask and answer questions about dinosaurs
• Explore Bristol Museum’s wildlife and dinosaur galleries
• Work in groups, rotating through four different activities: Dinosaur dig: a mock palaeontologist’s excavation (complete with hard hats!); Food Chain Facts: investigation of dinosaurs’ eating habits; Fantastic Fossils: handling a selection of plant and animal fossils; Battle of the Dinosaurs: discover the fiercest, tallest, heaviest dinosaur using gallery exhibits

Suitable for: Year 2-4
Duration: 90 minutes
