About.

How have living things changed over time and how do we know?

This workshop explores evidence for evolution by handling real fossils from the Horniman’s collection and discussing what they are and what we can learn from them.

Students will compare the beaks of different birds, like Charles Darwin did, and also study some taxidermy animals and find out how they have adapted to their environment.
