Our world is changing rapidly, but how do we know what the past looked like?

Use a microscope to see and learn to identify a range of fossils, including fossil pollen and insects. These can be used to explore evidence of past habitat change and to think about the impacts of climate change on present environments.

There will also be some mystery fossils that you can guess what they are and what they tell us about environmental change.
