All boys, and most girls, are intrigued by dinosaurs. They sit through movies about these huge creatures wreaking havoc on people, and the kids cheer for the dinosaurs! Some young children who can barely pronounce their own names can correctly say Brachiosaurus with no difficulty! Your students will love Dinosaur Dig. The difficulty may be getting them to move on to other subjects of study.

If children love dinosaurs so much, you might as well bring them into your classroom! That's what the hands-on activities in this book help you do. Charts, time lines, diagrams, models they make themselves, dramatized stories, maps and much more will help students discover what dinosaurs looked like, what they ate and when and where they lived. They'll also learn about dinosaur hunters (paleontologists) and what they do, including some impressive discoveries of famous dinosaur hunters who lived many years ago.

Dinosaurs may be dead, but interest in them is very much alive. Of course no one knows for sure why dinosaurs became extinct, but at the end of this book students are given an opportunity to express their opinions and discuss them. The discovery, exploration and investigation required by students in this study will be useful in their other schoolwork and in everyday life.
