Teachers Masterclass: Science and Art

This season we invite educators from all backgrounds to join us for a creative morning exploring Ireland's Fossil Heritage. Led by researchers from the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at University College Cork and a professional artist, this masterclass will introduce a wide variety fo creative activities and educational resources.

Ireland’s natural landscape is made up of diverse and unique rocks which contain clues about the ancient Earth. We can connect to this mysterious past by discovering and exploring the rocks beneath our feet. Hidden within some of these rocks are the remains of plants and animals that lived in Ireland millions of years ago. These fossils can teach us about exciting prehistoric worlds.
