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.

Make a Cast of a Tyrannosaurus rex Fossil
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making cast models of a T. rex. First, learners read about and research how dinosaur fossils form.

Waterhouse Hawkins and the Nano Dinosphere Museum
