Dinosaurs are big! They’re very big! Let’s learn about some of these amazing creatures.
The T-Rex is a big and strong dinosaur. It has large, scary teeth. The T-Rex likes to eat meat, which makes it a carnivore. Imagine a giant dinosaur that loves to munch on other animals!
The Triceratops is another big dinosaur. It has three horns on its head. Even though it can’t run very fast, it is still very special. The Triceratops eats leaves and grass, so it is called a herbivore. Think of it as a giant plant-eating dinosaur!
The Spinosaurus is a dinosaur that can swim in the deep blue ocean. It can also run fast and walk on land. This makes the Spinosaurus a very cool dinosaur that can do many things!
Did you know that dinosaurs walked on Earth a long, long time ago? It was over 165 million years ago! The Tyrannosaurus Rex, or T-Rex, was one of the greatest hunters. It could grow as long as 12 meters (or 40 feet). That’s as long as a big bus!
The Triceratops had horns on its nose for fighting and could weigh as much as a big truck! The Spinosaurus could grow up to 18 meters (or 59 feet) long and weighed as much as three elephants combined! That’s really, really big!
Dinosaurs were indeed big, probably the largest creatures that ever walked the Earth! They were amazing and very, very big!
Measure Like a Dinosaur: Let’s see how big dinosaurs really were! Use a measuring tape to measure out the length of a T-Rex (12 meters or 40 feet) in your classroom or playground. Can you find something that is as long as a T-Rex? How about the Triceratops or Spinosaurus? Try to measure their lengths too! Discuss with your friends what everyday objects are similar in size to these dinosaurs.
Dinosaur Diet Detective: Create a simple chart with two columns labeled “Carnivores” and “Herbivores.” Using pictures of different foods, decide which foods a T-Rex or a Triceratops might eat. Place the pictures in the correct column. For example, a picture of meat would go under “Carnivores” for the T-Rex, and a picture of leaves would go under “Herbivores” for the Triceratops. Discuss why certain dinosaurs ate certain foods.
Dinosaur Movement Game: Pretend to be different dinosaurs! How would a T-Rex move compared to a Triceratops or a Spinosaurus? Try walking like a T-Rex with big, stomping steps, or like a Triceratops with slow, steady movements. Can you pretend to swim like a Spinosaurus? Think about how each dinosaur’s body helps it move in its special way.
