Drawing Dinosaur Teeth |
On Tuesday, we had a tour of the second floor, focused on dinosaurs and their teeth! We learned about and got to touch the teeth of different dinosaurs.
We also got to make our own diorama for a dinosaur that we got to take home, building it a habitat and making sure that it has plenty to eat in its home.
Next, we made activity lap books to help us sort dinosaurs by lots of different criteria, like when they lived, what they ate, and even how big they were. Finally, we used evidence to figure out who – or what – ate the Ammonite, a creature that lived millions of years ago!
On Wednesday, we focused on what dinosaurs are, and when they lived. We went on a tour of the 2nd floor to learn about what makes something a dinosaur, and played a game where we sorted different animals based on whether or not they were a dinosaur. We learned that some things that some people think are dinosaurs actually aren’t dinosaurs at all! Next, we made dinosaur timelines to show when dinosaurs lived, how long they lived, and what came after the dinosaurs. We also drew some murals to show what kinds of things were alive when the dinosaurs were alive, and what things live before or after the dinosaurs.
Lastly, we made some very fun-looking pterosaurs, and learned about how pterosaurs are actually NOT dinosaurs!
