Super Sleuths Topics: Adaptation, Classification, Bones and Skeletons, Dentition A hands-on team event, this workshop tests your detective skills and understanding of mammal adaptation. Split into two teams, students will handle and examine a range of skulls, skins and other items. But winning this contest requires team-work as well as knowledge! Skeletons Topics: Adaptation, Classification, Bones and Skeletons, Dentition Real learning with real bones! From skulls to scapulas, our collection of genuine animal bones helps to reveal which creatures are or are not vertebrates, what purpose your skeleton serves and how to recognise types of bone, such as ribs, vertebrae and limb bones. Plastics and Recycling Topics: Sustainability, Environment, Citizenship, Conservation Learn about the different materials we use in our modern lives and how long they take to degrade. Find out why plastic is of special concern from an environmental perspective, and how plastics recycling works. Practice recycling sorting and explore what you can do to reduce waste. Teeth Topics: Adaptation, Classification, Bones and Skeletons, Dentition To misquote – more than meet the eye-teeth! Discover the difference between a canine and a carnassial, learn how to deduce diet from teeth alone and marvel at the strange and unexpected ways that ‘pearly whites’ are utilised by certain animals. Variety of Life Topics: Variation, Classification, Bones and Skeletons, Adaptation Millions of animal species share Planet Earth with us, in every size, shape and colour imaginable. Experience this astonishing diversity through genuine artefacts such as feathers, furs and shells, along with roleplay games and investigative challenges. Conservation Topics: Conservation, Ecosystems, Biodiversity What’s Wildwood all about? The answers may surprise you! As this Power-point presentation explains, conservation is key to the Wildwood project, with highlights including the captive breeding of dormice, water-vole reintroductions and rewilding programmes using beavers and wild horses. Although typically aimed at A-level students, this session is easily adaptable for younger age groups. When planning your timetable, please ensure your session educator has a break of at least 5 mins between workshops. Thank you. PLEASE REMEMBER WE WILL ALWAYS TRY TO ADAPT A WORKSHOP TO MEET YOUR CURRICULUM NEEDS.
