Take your students on a journey through the Darwin Centre's stunning Cocoon. This interactive gallery will inspire your students to learn more about the diversity of life.
Find out how we store, care for and use our 20 million entomology and botany specimens, and hear some of the stories from behind the scenes.
Our interactive exhibits will provide students with the answers to questions such as:
-Who were the first collectors and how did their methods differ from those of modern-day scientists?
-How do scientists organise, classify and name specimens?
-Why is our collection so valuable for research and how do we share it with the world?
-What do molecular techniques tell us about our specimens and how is this helping in the fight against malaria?
