Palaeontology: Discovering Earth’s Prehistoric Past

Learners explore how scientists investigate ancient worlds while developing skills in observation, questioning, research, comparison, mapping, measurement, evidence gathering, data organisation, and creative communication.

$49.00

Each Collection is designed using inclusive learning principles, supporting diverse learning needs through self-paced exploration, clear instructions, flexible activity options, visual supports, and multiple ways for learners to engage, create, and reflect.

A Curiosity Collection includes multiple Wonder activities completed over several sessions.

Each activity introduces new ideas through exploration, investigation, and creative design, leading to a final project where Wonder Seekers combine what they have learned.

The Collection includes:
