Fossil Hunters

Year 3 – 4

Step 1 of 4

Students will explore and analyse fossil evidence to understand ancient animals and plants.

They will use virtual reality (VR) to visualise current interpretations of dinosaurs, and work through the scientific method as palaeontologists to uncover, interpret, and identify different dinosaur species.

In this program students will:

  • Classify fossils as body or trace.
  • Apply the scientific method to make interpretations from dinosaur fossils.
  • Compare features of past and present animals to make inferences.
