Discovering Dinosaurs

What can you tell about a dinosaur’s behavior by examining fossils of its teeth?  Just how many teeth did a T-Rex have?  How did Stegosaurus protect itself from Allosaurus?  Why did Diplodocus swallow stones?

Through hands-on experience with fossils and casts, students will discover the adaptations and behaviors of some the Earth’s famous past residents, the dinosaurs.  Students will examine fossils and explore the lives of dinosaurs; how they hunted, ate and defended themselves. Aside from the dinosaur specimens, a sampling of additional fossils will show evidence of some of the other ancient life forms that once existed the earth.

This program supports Colorado Model Content Standards for Science 3.1, 3.4, 4.1.
