Product Description

Four billions years and still flourishing! National Geographic Dinosaurs & Fossils is a slightly abridged capsule of life on Earth that contains multiple activities for kids to explore as they learn about how fossils came to be, both dinosaur and other. Dinosaurs and other fantastical creatures walked the earth long before people came along and started writing things down. Yet history was being recorded all along, in the way of fossils and other forensic evidence left behind by those who walked this earth before we did. National Geographic Dinosaurs & Fossils lets you delve into the geological ages and uncover the creatures that defined them, from single-celled organisms to the largest whales alive today. Cast plaster fossils, assemble a T-Rex dinosaur skeleton, build a pterosaur mobile, create a time spiral and more. The collaboration between the National Geographic Society, dedicated to understanding and teaching about our planet, and Thames & Kosmos, a science education company dedicated to exacting standards and superb instructional content. The manuals that come with Thames & Kosmos kits are especially comprehensive and well done, essentially serving as mini-textbooks on a topic and guiding students carefully through the materials. National Geographic Dinosaurs & Fossils kit includes a 32 page book along with the activities and games that are the main focus of the kit. Ages 8 and up.
