Evolution

–

What do fossils tell us about life millions of years ago? In this science-focused workshop pupils use a variety of fossil specimens and sources to formulate their own theories before looking at fossil sequences to identify changes over time.

Pupils will gain subject specific vocabulary, questioning skills and use a variety of scientific evidence to explore fossils. They will also meet our ‘Pholiderpeton’, an important fossil found in Bradford millions of years ago, which helps us explore how some creatures have evolved.
