Fossil Skulls Worksheet
We're going on a fossil dig and your child is invited! With this fun and free worksheet, your little explorer will learn that scientists used fossils to learn about creatures of long ago. They'll get to take a look at the teeth of some well-known dinosaurs and decide whether or not each dinosaur was a plant- or meat-eater based on the size and shape of their teeth. It's a dino-riffic way to teach about adaptation and how dinosaurs were able to feed themselves.
