Discover a world of dinosaurs at Scienceworks as you explore the
science of palaeontology. Scienceworks invites visitors of all
ages to explore ‘how we know what we know’ about those most
famous of prehistoric creatures – dinosaurs! A new exhibition,
Explore-a-saurus, has been developed by Scienceworks to
demonstrate the ways in which palaeontologists use fossil
evidence to learn about how dinosaurs lived; from what they ate
and how fast they ran, to what colour they may have been and
even how they cared for their young. Discover the forensic
method scientists use to learn about prehistoric life in a
setting inhabited by Scienceworks’ own animatronic dinosaurs!
This interactive exhibition will explore the concepts of
palaeontology in a fun and hands-on way by testing your strength
against the strength of a T-Rex jaw and looking through the eyes
of a carnivore or herbivore dinosaur. Try your hand at being a
palaeontologist by uncovering fossils and bones, comparing the
types of plants that dinosaurs ate, exami
