Time Safaris can come to your school and set up a museum full of artifacts for students to investigate. Using exhibits, including numerous dinosaur fossils, Time Safaris is offering different hands-on school visits. All classes come with pre-post visit activities. 

1. Prehistoric Queensland (aimed at primary classes) – explaining how fossils are formed and the different types of fossils, we explain how Queensland (and Australia) is related to the ancient super continent of GONDWANA. This includes the oldest dinosaur remains, oldest bird, a T. rex tooth, a saber-tooth skull and various remains from Australian mega-fauna.  

2. History of the Universe in 45 minutes  

Bringing an entire natural history museum to your classroom, this incursion will present evidence for the formation of the universe by using minerals (including safe radioactive elements) fossils, meteorites and the oldest rock and fossils in the world. Students will investigate evidence of the formation of the Universe and see/hold fossils and minerals from almost every major event in prehistory, from the formation of the solar system, to how almost every element that makes up the human body was made by a sun.  

Extras include fossil making.
