INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS
TAKE PART IN AN UNFORGETTABLE LEARNING EXPERIENCE, CENTRED IN SUSTAINABILITY.
The BBC Earth Experience offers a unique adventure which you cannot find anywhere else. Unrivalled in scale and spectacle, this is a world of endless discovery, wonder and learning. Go round the world in one hour, explore the seven continents, see creepy crawlies up close and dive into our interactive Water World.
The experience immerses visitors into the natural world where they will meet the wonderful and extraordinary animal inhabitants of our seven continents, with narration by David Attenborough. Our accompanying education packs are designed to inspire children and develop their understanding, empathy and desire to protect the planet. This is an experience which can be enjoyed by all, no matter the year level.
The experience is self-guided with curriculum-based education packs which you can complete either on site or back in your own classroom. The resources are curriculum linked and include Teacher Guides for each pack.
School groups should allow approximately 90 minutes for their visit to BBC Earth Experience. A member of our Visitor Experience team will meet you to assist upon entry to your self-led excursion.
