Free Activities: Eerie Encounters
Enter a world of eerie encounters and misunderstood marvels with our Science Communication team at Dynamic Earth in our free drop-in activities that everyone can sink their teeth into.
About Free Activities: Eerie Encounters
Dive into the world of carnivorous plants and craft a Venus flytrap puppet, your own flesh-eating wonder to snap and trap unsuspecting prey! From creepy crawlers to buzzing bugs, let your creativity take flight and construct your own origami insects, or get up close and personal with bugs and beasties under the microscope. Get hands-on with spooky skulls and x-rays and find out how different animal adaptations help them survive. See the world like a vicious viper in infrared and create your own slithering pal to take home. Make your own prehistoric discoveries, unearthing hidden fossils and find out more about the ferocious creatures that once roamed the Earth in our spine-tingling dinosaur digs!
These activities are free, drop-in sessions from 10am-4pm. No booking required – we’ll see you there!
