Description
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was a dinosaur that lived in North America in the late Jurassic Period over 160 million years ago.
It was a carnivore, however, some researchers think it may have been an opportunistic scavenger.
Teaching ideas for the T-Rex Woodcraft Puzzle
- Get the kids to number each piece before they pop out the pieces.
- Compare Australian theropod dinosaurs with the T-Rex. What is similar? What is different?
- Use the woodcraft model as a way of teaching fine motor skills and early numeracy.
- Create a display in your classroom of a variety of dinosaur models.
- Have students create posters or dioramas around their favourite dinosaur.
- Teach about the difference between herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.
- Listen to the Australian Age of Dinosaurs on the FizzicsEd podcast. Discover what it is really like on a dinosaur dig!
