Calling all budding paleontologists and dino lovers! Dinosaurs walked the Earth for 165 million years and even though they haven’t been alive for 65 million years, together we’ll learn about them. Some of the questions we’ll look at this week include how fossils are formed; the difference between dinosaurs, Pteranodons and plesiosaurs; and what the Earth was like during the Age of Dinosaurs!
