Carnivores and Herbivores

     We have been talking about what dinosaurs ate and that some were carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores.  To help us understand what carnivores and herbivores would eat I drew a big T-rex (our carnivore) and a big Brontosaurus (our herbivore) and the students cut out different kinds of food for our dinosaurs to eat.  While we know that these foods were not available during dinosaur time it still helped us to figure out what foods would go with the meat-eating T-rex and the plant-eating Brontosaurus.  Here are pictures of our dinosaurs.

 

      We also figured out how many of our feet it would take to fill up a dinosaur footprint.  To do this students traced their feet and cut them out.  Then we put them inside the dinosaur footprint.  It took 32 to fill up the dinosaur footprint.
