Dinosaur Discovery is an interdisciplinary learning experience developed for first level and second level learners and is part of the Collections of the Past learning opportunities with the National Museum of Scotland.
The Dinosaur Discovery planning guidance provides practitioners with an overview of the learning experiences using the NAR flow chart process. Educators can adapt this guidance to meet the needs of the learners they teach.
Dinosaur Discovery creates a context in which learners can be supported to explore evidence from the past, be posed questions to gain greater insight into the life of dinosaurs and how their fossils, bones and other evidence can be used to tell us about the history of the earth. Learners will be encouraged to:
- Develop a curiosity and understanding of their environment and the past
- Undertake simple scientific investigations using practical techniques
- Explore a range of media to create images and objects
- Be creative
- Share and learn with peers through Glow
These challenges will be live in September 2013 with a live Glow TV event with the National Museum of Scotland on the 20th September at 1.30pm . Afterwards they will be made available as packs of learning, teaching and assessment resources in the Collections from the Past Channel on Glow.
This learning experience has been developed to work towards supporting the delivery of
The Curriculum for Excellence Implementation Plan 2012-13
The Sciences 3-18 Curriculum Impact Project Summary of Key Strengths and Aspects for Development
