Students investigate where scientists find dinosaur bones and decide why rebuilding them is important. They create a scale model of a dinosaur.

Students model a paleontologist's activities. They identify dinosaur bones and reassemble them into a skeleton of an extinct reptile.

Students participate in an activity to discover patterns. They make cutouts of bones and decorate them in patterns. They work together in pairs and removes the number of bones they roll on the die. They also practice writing their numbers.

Fourth graders create enlarged replica of a stegosaurus drawing, using a grid to practice coordinates.
