The school year is well and truly underway! So as you power through the first weeks of this super-sized term, remember that the Education Teams at all our Museum sites have been working through the summer to provide schools with fantastic excursion options for 2011.
Our facilitated education programs cover a broad range of topics including Palaeontology, Biodiversity, WA History and Aboriginal Culture. The programs are designed and conducted by our Education Officers, who are trained teachers, with a focus on hands-on activities using exciting Museum objects.

When WA Museum’s Perth Education team was asked to present some Froggy Fun workshops at Herdsman Lake’s Biodiversity Bash, they hopped at the chance!
The three-day event, run in October by the Herdsman Lake Wildlife Centre and the WA Gould League, celebrated wetland biodiversity with a range of exciting hands-on activities for primary school students, including hunting for water bugs, meeting some wetland birds and learning some Noongar hunting skills.
K-3 teachers - do you dig dinosaurs?
0 Mus-ed blog | Updated 2 years ago
We Dig Dinosaurs is a hands-on, interactive experience where students can uncover a large buried fossil, use tools to excavate a fossil from rock, reconstruct a dinosaur skeleton, as well as handle and identify real fossils that are millions of years old!
At the end of the session, the students are awarded the honour of being one of the Museum’s honorary ’Junior Palaeontologists’ (business cards provided!).
K-3 classes can brush, chip and sort their way through a range of dinosaur activities at our Perth, Albany, Geraldton and Kalgoorlie sites.
