Did you know that some dinosaurs had as many as 900 teeth?! Or that a dinosaur tooth fossil was found measuring more than a foot long! Tooth fossils provide scientists with a great deal of information about how dinosaurs lived, what they ate, their size and even their behavior.
Kids won't believe it when you hand each of them a Tyrannosaurus Tooth replica of their very own. Paint or color the tooth, attach the included adhesive magnet on the back and they've made a prehistoric souvenir to reinforce their learning (and to stick on their refrigerator at home!) This kit is packed full of dinosaur learning and fun!
Ages 4 and up.
Unit Goals and Concepts:
- Introduce participants to dinosaurs of all varieties - large and small.
- Compare and contrast herbivore and carnivore dinosaurs and learn what made them different.
- Share information about dinosaur teeth and eating habits.
- Paint or color a T-Rex tooth replica magnet.
Materials Included:
- A T-Rex tooth replica for each participant.
- Magnets to stick on the back of the tooth so it can be displayed on any magnetic surface.
- Baggies for participants to take their project home in.
- Our exclusive instructor's activity guide, which provides instructors with everything they need to teach about dinosaurs and includes suggestions for additional activities and a reproducible activity sheet.
- The only materials you supply are paint or markers.
General: National Science Education Standard NS.K-4.4, NS.5-8.3 and NS.5-8.4 Life Science and Earth and Space Science.
Content Standard C: Diversity and Adaptations of Organisms (5-8)
Extinction of a species occurs when the environment changes and the adaptive characteristics of a species are insufficient to allow its survival. Fossils indicate that many organisms that lived long ago are extinct.
Content Standard D: Properties of Earth Materials (K-4)
Fossils provide evidence about the plants and animals that lived long ago and the nature of the environment at that time.
Earth’s History (5-8)
Fossils provide important evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed.
Specific (California standards):
(1.2d) Students know how to infer what animals eat from the shapes of their teeth.
(2.3d) Students know that fossils provide evidence about the plants and animals that lived long ago and that scientists learn about the past history of Earth by studying fossils.
(3.3e) Students know that some kinds of organisms that once lived on Earth have completely disappeared and that some of those resembled others that are alive today.
(7.4e) Students know fossils provide evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed.
