Fossils to Supercomputers: 21st century palaeontology for everyone
Age suitable for: 5+
Step into the history of our planet and join us for an engaging hands-on activity that explores the evolution of Earth's climate and life in our oceans. In this activity, you can delve into interactive reconstructions of the Earth's climate over hundreds and millions of years of Earth history. What was the Earth's climate like when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, and when the continents were in different places on our planet? As the climate changes, witness the transformation of the ocean and discover how marine animals responded. Interact with virtual 3D fossils of animals that once lived in our oceans, allowing you to examine and manipulate fascinating ancient animals with cutting-edge technology. You can also get up close and person with real fossil specimens, getting a hands-on experience with the remnants of marine animals that once thrived in Earth's oceans. This activity promises an immersive journey through time and will teach you how the life and our planet have co-evolved together. Unearth the past and connect with the rich history of the Earth and the driving forces that have shaped life on our planet today!
