Digging Up DinosaursLanguage: English | Español | |
This book introduces readers to many types of dinosaurs whose skeletons and reconstructions are seen in museums, and explains how scientists uncover, preserve, and study fossils. LeVar goes on in the video to explore the fascination of dinosaurs that lived and then disappeared millions of years ago. Humor is interspersed in interviews with a ranger and a paleontologist who take LeVar on a fossil tour of Dinosaur National Monument. |

CollectionsIt is fun to collect different things that we especially like. Rocks can make a wonderful collection. You can store them in a shoebox at first and take them out and look at them whenever you want to. You can build piles with them. You can paint them to make pets or paperweights. Rocks can be found on just about any outing that you may take, such as to a park, in the woods, along a shoreline. Try collecting something special for yourself. Then share your collection with a special friend. |
