Greg and Bella explore the science of extinction with the help of dinosaur enthusiast Mr Yates.
Together, they’ll look at some famous recent extinctions, find out what role conservation plays in the preservation of species, and explore the major mass extinction events that shaped our world today. They’ll also look at just how possible it might be to bring lost species back to life – is the film Jurassic Park science fact or just science fiction? They’ll meet the animals that have somehow managed to defy extinction – what set them apart from the species that didn’t make it to today?
And finally, we’ll take what we’ve learnt and apply it to the human race – are we at risk of our own major extinction event? What will our world look like in the future?
Bad students of all ages are welcome. Expect brilliant teachers, captivating subjects but absolutely no homework.
