KS2 webinar and loan box: Predators and Prey

We have a new learning experience for schools – a loan box of specimens and a linked webinar with a museum expert.

Borrow the loan box from the museum and then join us for a live webinar investigating how predators and prey animals are adapted to their need to hunt or escape. Talk to our Museum Educator as they use relevant museum specimens to explore animal skulls, teeth and skeletons.

Children will:

• Discuss terms predator and prey
• Talk to a Museum Educator about animal adaptations using examples from our museum collections
• Look at museum specimens to explore animal and dinosaur teeth, skulls and claws
• Find out how animals survive and what makes a good predator
• Ask questions about our objects

Our virtual learning includes:

• live presentation supported by PowerPoint slides
• interaction between learners and a Museum Educator
• short pre-recorded videos of behind the scenes at the museum, including curator talks
• a Resource Pack with pre-session activities; resources and worksheets for activities during the session; suggestions and resource for follow-up activities in the classroom after the virtual session

Suitable for: Years 4 – 6

Maximum number of children: 60 (from the same school)

Duration: 60 minutes

Timings: Afternoons

Each loan box will be delivered and collected by a member of the Museums Learning team on specified dates.
