School visit information

Explore the habitat of Triceratops based on fossil evidence, and learn how they thrived in their environment.

Students will experience

• Walk through the immersive world of the Triceratops, exploring the various species that lived at the same time.
• Hear from a museum learning expert about how the habitat our Triceratops lived in led to its successful fossilisation.
• Through hands-on objects, discover how Triceratops' amazing structural features enabled it to thrive in its environment.
• Visit the Dinosaur Walk and Triceratops: Fate of the Dinosaurs exhibitios and see real dinosaur fossils.

Students will learn

• Dinosaurs, like all organisms, have evolved over time, as seen in fossils and scientific records.
• Dinosaurs’ structural features and behaviours enable them to thrive in their environments.
• Dinosaur habitats can be described by their physical conditions and changing the physical conditions of a habitat, such as through massive volcanic activity or a major asteroid impact, will affect the growth and survival of organisms.

Students will be provided

• an exclusive dinosaur booklet which can be used in the galleries and back at school.

Students will need

• Please bring pencils for students to be able to complete their booklet in the galleries.
