This learning resource for 5-7 year olds (Key stage 1 pupils) encourages children to think about how bees contribute to our world, including how our lives would change if they were extinct. One activity links to an exhibit at the Museum of Natural History that explains how bees communicate through dance. The resource comes complete with a 'bee' tabard for role-play.

Exploring the differences between the teeth of herbivores and carnivores, and how dentistry has changed over time, this learning resource is full of activities for before, during and after a visit to the Museum of Natural History. It contains orientation information, a game of teeth top trumps, and even real teeth (one forming the pendant on a necklace).
