600 million years in 60 seconds

Years 9-10, Program led by museum staff

How did life on Earth come to be the way it is and what happened in Victoria? Melbourne Museum’s science exhibition, 600 million years: Victoria evolves, takes your students on a journey through geological time.

During this museum staff led session, your students will explore the 600 million years: Victoria evolves exhibition and develop their understanding of evolution and the fossil record by creating a 60 second movie clip. This program is fast-paced, multimedia rich and multidisciplinary. Focusing on Science, media, ICT and communication, students work in teams, using real museum objects and video cameras to create a clip that communicates how life has evolved through the ages.

Students will edit their clips, and be able to take their clips back to school to work further on the topic.
