Biology Museums
A lovely resource for any classroom, these are a series of pages, reminiscent of Top Trumps, detailing the key features of twenty eight dinosaurs, including a simple illustration of their size in relation to man. Helpfully, the museum have attached a set of well thought-out lesson ideas, tackling creative writing and even mathematics through scale. A final bonus is the inclusion of the original Excel file containing the details from every page, which could be an ideal starting point for ICT work.
Take a trip to the comprehensive National History museum web site where you can take part in a variety of different activities, also it's possible to download 3D models of fossils.
The Science Museum in London has developed an engaging on-line experience with information and resources relating to science and technology. The 'exhibitions online' section includes 'Exhiblets' about art and inventions. Many educational projects, including the 'Stem' project for schools, can be found in 'learn and teach'.
