Biological science

Students explore how fossil evidence informs scientific understanding of life. They investigate dinosaur fossils to identify adaptations and make inferences about their diet, appearance, behaviour and name origin. 

In this program students will:

  • describe types of fossils and the role of palaeontologists
  • group dinosaurs by their observable features
  • identify and infer structural adaptations for survival.
