About the Workshops
We offer free fossil workshops which are directly linked to a variety of STEM subjects such as science and mathematics and link to important topics on the STEM curriculum such as climate change, biodiversity, animal behaviour and evolution. All materials are supplied by the facilitators, who comprise working scientists from University College Cork.
The workshops include interaction with a collection of real Irish fossils on loan from the Education & Outreach Department, National Museum of Ireland.
Students work scientifically in our workshops by
- questioning
- observing
- investigating and experimenting
- analysing - sorting and classifying
- recording and communicating
