About the Author:
Why did dinosaurs disappear from the earth?
How small was the smallest dinosaur?
What's a micropachycephalosaurus?
Now kids can uncover answers to these and other fascinating questions in Dinosaurs for Every Kid. They'll discover remarkable facts about when dinosaurs lived, where they lived, how they used their tails, what kinds of foods they ate, and why their eggs—even those hatched by the biggest "dinomoms"—were so small.
Kids explore the world of dinosaurs by making a scale model dinosaur of clay to find out how much dinosaurs weighed. They'll use an index card, scissors, pencil, thermometer, and timer to determine why the dinosaurs' body temperature could change. And, with a cardboard box, masking tape, and a pair of house plants, they'll find out why these magnificent animals disappeared from the earth forever.
Each low-cost, fully illustrated activity—there are 20 altogether—comes with a clear purpose, a list of materials, step-by-step instructions, expected results, and a scientific explanation kids can understand. Parents will be glad to hear that every activity has been pre-tested and can be performed safely and inexpensively in the classroom or at home.
Perfect for the home and the classroom, Dinosaurs for Every Kid shows how science can be a lively, engaging experience that tests resourcefulness, unleashes the imagination, and offers up endless surprises.
When learning science means doing science, learning becomes an adventure!
