The Great Bone Hunt

Immerse yourself in the world of paleontology
In this project, students take on the role of a paleontologist. They examine bones and consider what the animal might have looked like and in which habitat (water, air, land) it might have lived.
In addition to gaining insights into the structure of vertebrates and recognizing form-function relationships, students learn about various aspects of scientific work (comparison with existing data, networking with other scientists, dealing with uncertainties, etc.) in a playful way.
