Material Detail

In this activity, learners participate in a simulated dig to discover fossilized dinosaur bones. Learners take notes, make a map and propose theories about dinosaurs. This can be used as a culminating activity at the end of a unit on dinosaurs, paleontology or archeology. This activity is featured on pp.48-50 (part of a lesson that begins on p.47) of the "Dinosphere" unit of study for grades 3-5.
