Eaten Alive

Eaten Alive TV ad

Look out! You never know what’s lurking behind you in Eaten Alive.

Eaten Alive – The World of Predators is an interactive exhibition exploring the behaviours, adaptations and techniques that predators use to catch prey.

Eaten Alive will be at Questacon until June 2009.

The exhibition contains eleven interactive exhibits, three robotic exhibits and a virtual reality shark cage experience.

Teacher Resources

These resources are especially for teachers and parents planning a visit to Eaten Alive.

Research shows that students gain the most benefit from a museum visit by doing activities before or after their visit, rather than doing worksheets during their time in a gallery. Encouraging your students to discuss exhibit themes and how they link to the everyday world is a great way to enrich your students’ experience while they are in the galleries.
