Frequently asked questions
What is included in the resource pack?
Each resource pack includes authentic fossils, museum-quality artefacts, guided educational video modules, hands-on activities, and a living Wollemi Pine for students to observe and care for throughout the programme.
What is the Wollemi Pine and why is it included?
How long does the programme run?
What age group is the programme suited for?
We recommend the programme for students aged 5 and above. It is most suited to Grades 1–3, though we have successfully run it with Prep classes. The Fossil Dig component is suitable for children aged 5+.
How much preparation is required from teachers?
How is the resource pack delivered and returned?
We handle the entire process. Your resource pack is delivered directly to your school, ready to set up. At the end of your booking, we arrange collection. No additional coordination or logistics are required from your team.
Is the programme curriculum aligned?
Yes. The Dinosaur Diggers Educational Series supports primary learning outcomes (VALS) through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. It is particularly well-suited to natural science and STEM units at the primary level.
What makes this different from a standard incursion?
Unlike a one-off presenter visit, Dinosaur Diggers is a multi-day, immersive classroom experience. Students engage with real artefacts, guided video content, and hands-on discovery over several days, resulting in deeper learning and a lasting impact that a single session simply can’t match.
Can students keep what they find in the Fossil Dig?
Yes. Each student keeps their fossils as a lasting reminder of the experience. The fossil dig comes with a take-home pack for every child.
Is the Fossil Dig included in the resource pack?
The Fossil Dig is available as an additional component and can be included as part of your booking. Get in touch for details.
How is pricing structured?
Pricing is tailored to each classroom experience and may vary depending on the number of students and selected inclusions. Full details are provided upon booking enquiry or waitlist release.
