Immerse yourself in imaginative dinosaur learning as you go back in time and imagine the UK covered in forest, swamp, rivers and lakes. What do we know about dinosaurs and how do we know?

Block B: Dinosaurs Main outcome: Science and UW (TW) Fossil Evidence Other outcomes: History (TW), Art and EAD (BI) [3 Sessions]
