Get Ready to Dig
Students research Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops horridus
dinosaurs to study their fossilized teeth. Students determine that Triceratops
teeth work the way pliers and scissors operate, and T. rex teeth are
like sharp knives. Students match and sort dinosaurs by the type and
use of their teeth. The purpose of the activity is to understand how
dinosaur teeth were used. Students use models of fossilized dinosaur
teeth to understand how they were used. Students learn that dinosaurs
probably ate a variety of foods.
