Come along and bring all the family to a day of discovery. Find out more about the adaptations and characteristics plants and animals use to survive and how humans have learned from nature. Meet scientists and get hands on and do some experiments of your own. See fascinating objects from the museum’s stores, and find out more about the interactions between animals and plants when they want different things from one another: predators and prey, hosts and parasites, competitors, males and females, parents and young. Get crafty and create your own paper creatures to take away.
