Year 2 students enjoyed an excursion to the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum on Friday 22 May.
In Science, students have been learning to observe and identify rocks in natural formations and those used in built structures, and how to manipulate different rocks and describe their texture, colour and grain or crystal size.
The excursion was a great way to deepen learning by viewing such a fine and rare collection of fossils and minerals, including rare formations, crystallised gold, raw gemstones and delicate uranium. The Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton was certainly a highlight, along with other dinosaur skeletons and fossils.
