Workshop: The Wonderful World of Dinosaurs
National Museum Cardiff
Ever wondered what a palaeontologist does? In this investigative workshop you’ll find out. You’ll encounter real life scientists from Wales and beyond and explore the diverse skills and backgrounds that paleontologists have.
Using real fossils from the Museum collections you’ll travel back in time. You’ll explore relationships between dinosaurs, other plants and animals and their habitats. You’ll then use this fossil evidence to reconstruct ‘Dinosaur Park’ - a world from the time of the dinosaurs.
