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. Then, learners make dinosaur tracings and drawings similar to x-rays. Learners can repeat the activity using pictures of other dinosaurs to compare and contrast various dinosaurs. This activity is featured on page 38 of the "Dinosphere" unit of study for K-2 learners.
