Touchable objects, immersive experiences and multimedia exhibits allow students to explore how these prehistoric animals moved, ate and survived in their changing environments.

On Tuesday 24th July 2018 students from across the world tuned in to learn about paleontology with Melbourne Museum's Life Sciences Program Coordinator, Priscilla Gaff and Digital Education Coordinator, Bridget Hanna.
Students explored how prehistoric animals lived and were able to get close with skeletons of dinosaurs, flying reptiles and giant extinct mammals. They saw real dinosaur eggs, virtually walked alongside a long necked dinosaur and discovered what dinosaurs would have looked like when they were alive.
