Walking with Dinosaurs



We have watched some interesting documentaries this past week. The Discovery Channel showed:


Dinosaurs: Return to Life?

Walking with Dinosaurs: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Walking with Dinosaurs: Rulers of Sea & Sky

Walking with Dinosaurs: Passing of Giants


Their website has some interesting activities as well. http://dsc.discovery.com/guides/dinosaur/dinosaur.html


The girls played with their dinosaur toys afterward, and it was really nice to hear Georgia explaining to Olivia what each dinosaur was, which period it was from, what it ate, and any other interesting facts she learned.

The University of California Museum of Paleontology has an online exhibit to learn about geologic time. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/exhibits/geologictime.php


Today, the girls were reading through their dinosaur Weird n' Wild Creatures Cards.
