Dinosaurs & Fossils

Narrations:

The Magic School Bus In the Time of the Dinosaurs (7/24/07)

They went back in time to see Maiasaura eggs but went too far. They came back a little, but not far enough. They saw different dinosaurs than before. And then they came back more but it still wasn't far enough. They saw more different dinosaurs than before. They went back again and they saw an ocean with different animals. They went back again and saw different dinosaurs. One last time back and they saw some more dinosaurs and then walked a little and finally saw the ones they were looking for. But before that they saw Tyranosaurus Rex! And when they found the dinosaurs they were looking for, a big sand storm came and buried all the animals. Then they went in the bus and went back home.


Dinosaurs (8/6/07)



I love dinosaurs! Dinosaurs have been extinct for 150 million years. Some were meat-eaters and some ate plants. Meat-eaters are carnivores. Plant-eaters are herbivores. If you eat both meat and plants, you are an omnivore.

My favorite dinosaur is T-Rex. He is a meat-eater. He is a carnivore. He would kill other dinosaurs for food. He is really cool. He used his sharp teeth to kill other dinosaurs. T-Rex killed other smaller meat-eaters and plant-eaters.
