Our general primary visit is designed to engage students with multiple aspects of geoscience. Education staff guide students through everyday uses of some rocks, minerals, and elements, and explore the movement of tectonic plates and how this movement impacts landscapes and the distribution of earthquakes. Students are encouraged to explore our hands on displays guided by an activity sheet. Students will ‘touch the Moon’, view the National Mineral and Fossil collection including impressive crystal displays, handle rocks, fossils, and minerals, and investigate samples under a microscope.
