 Dinosaur Science Project Mar 02, 2011
By Christopher Moynihan
I bought this for my 6 year old's science project. We followed the included directions and performed the excavating of this Tyrannosaurus Rex. Things learned: Examining Teeth, Understanding Skeletons, Excavating and assembling the Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton. It was raining the day we were going to do the dig. I decided to do the dig on our dining room table. I used play sand to cover the skeleton and then brought my son in to do the dig. This worked well and wasn't as messy as I thought would be. It's a fun activity and the model is designed to be taken apart and reused. The base of the model is a little unstable if you are planing to transport this to school like we did. I had to put a few extra screws in the 3 part base to keep the model firm so that we could transport it to the classroom.

If you have a child that is into dinosaurs and/or digging in the sand box......THIS IS A MUST!!! Even if your child is too young for the educational materials you can still guide them through a dig. Sooo cool. My 7yo helped to set up the dig sight. He and his grandpa set up the stakes. Then we sent him inside so we could place the bones. This way he would have to hunt for them and not just dig them back up. He spent most of the day going out to find more pieces (in 100+ weather!) He just couldn't wait to set the whole thing up.
We now have the skeleton on display. The skeleton is very detailed and over a decent size. I would compare it to an adult (medium to large) cat. We also bought a t-rex sand mold and made plaster bones that can be left in the "dig sight" all the time. I think he was a bit young to be doing the worksheets alone but I am sure that we will be using this again in the future. This would be a cool addition to a Dinosaur Themed Birthday Party. Shop around we found this here for a great price. Worth every penny!!!
Teachers, your students will LOVE this. I wasn't into dinosaurs as a kid but I would have thought this was a cool lesson plan. I love the hands on approach this offers.
This happens to go right along with what my son wants to be when he grows up. He wants to be an "archeologist" just like Indiana Jones. In his mind they dig up dinosaurs too. He is forever digging in the sand and getting excited over things he finds. He has been very into dinosaurs forever and I don't see that changing anytime soon. We have a whole section of books on dinosaurs in their shelves and he never fails to check out dinosaur related books from the library. What a great way to indulge his interest. The adults enjoyed themselves just watching his enthusiasm.
