Curious about the natural heritage of Wales?
Access a range of resources from Museum Wales from fact sheets on archaeology, as well as Spotter’s Guides to help you identify fossils, plants, animals and rocks in Wales. It also offers quizzes, games and colouring-in sheets all relating to the natural and historic environment in Wales.
You can even send pictures of your finds to museum scientists to help you identify what it is!
Being curious and learning about our natural and historic environments is good for our mental wellbeing. It keeps our brains stimulated and helps us to feel connected to our past and the natural environment.
Research shows that learning new things can also boost our self-esteem and self-confidence and give us a sense of satisfaction and purpose. Learning with others can also provide a way of forming or strengthening social connections – all of which are great for our mental wellbeing.
