In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used. Learners specifically research Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops horridus dinosaurs and determine that Triceratops teeth work the way pliers and scissors operate, and T. rex teeth are like sharp knives. Learners match and sort dinosaurs by the type and use of their teeth. This activity is featured on pp.14-18 (part of a lesson that begins on p.7) of the "Dinosphere" unit of study for grades 3-5.
