Kelsey: Clues of the Dig Site Map
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and a dig site. Learners work in groups to analyze a dig site map and match bones to a skeletal drawing of Kelsey (a Triceratops).

Make a Dinosaur Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

Familiar Fossils
In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

Lever Cowboy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

Supporting Structures
Source Institutions
In this activity about living things and gravity (page 5 of PDF), learners design and build an exoskeleton or an endoskeleton for an animal of their own invention.

Fossil Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

Chicken Wing Exploration
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore cooked chicken wings and identify the various parts including: bones (radius, ulna, humerus, shoulder joint, elbow joint), tendons, and cartilage.

The Power of Togetherness
Source Institutions
In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.

Sketch a Skeleton
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 15-18 of PDF), learners make a life-size two-dimensional paper model of their own skeletons.

Inner Strength
Source Institutions
In this activity about endoskeletons (page 8 of PDF), learners observe, compare and contrast different kinds of chicken bones, and relate their chicken bone observations to human bones.
Flesh Out a Fossil
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how artists start with a skeleton and turn it into a realistic drawing of a dinosaur.

Shark Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners touch and observe skulls of sharks and rays to learn about their diversity (over 400 species of sharks alone!).

X-ray Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and skeletons. First, learners listen to "Tyrannosaurus Rex" by Daniel Cohen to learn about T. rex dinosaurs specifically.

Paper Mache Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 6 of PDF), learners observe and reproduce the distinctive physical features (i.e. plates, sharp spikes, long necks, deep jaws, claws) of their favorite dinosaurs.

Digging Deeper!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.
