About the program

Explore animal structure and learn how to tell where animals live, what they eat and how they are adapted to their environment by considering their anatomy – hands-on with real animal material and dissecting instruments.

This activity is capped at 20 students but can potentially accommodate more by negotiation and depending on access to financial support to pay casual demonstrators to ensure everyone's safety.
