Sharks: fish or mammals? Do all birds fly? Do mammals lay eggs?
Want to know more? This workshop takes you on a trip around planet Earth to meet many animals linked to Indigenous peoples.
Discover animal classification as a casino game, match real furs (fox, wolf…) with the right animal, leaf through fascinating 3D books, draw your favourite animal, and handle and identify skulls, bones, shells, horns, antlers and even a real piranha… Just a sample of the experiments waiting for you!
Your adventurers also take home a drawing of their favourite animals!
For 15 more minutes:
Add a 6th station to explore the animal kingdom on an interactive map, and become a vet who reveals the skeletons of different animals with a flashlight.
