Fossils and Evolution
Explore some of the collection of Natural History objects at the Horniman – download the resource below or, if you would like to make your own trails or work sheets tailored to your visit many of the images and text below and in our other resources can be easily copied and pasted to your own design.
- Perhaps use images from objects located in different galleries and in the gardens to create a challenge or simple trail through the Museum to find specific objects/places.
- Use object images to encourage independent research, for instance, find out and write down three facts about an object/group of objects. Alternatively, give facts/clues and challenge your pupils to identify mystery objects.
- Set an alphabetical challenge to find or draw 26 objects one for each letter of the alphabet.
- Create a sketchbook challenge.
