Cub Scout Wolf – Digging Into the Past – Workshop

, ,

Overview

Dinosaurs and other giant creatures lived and died out millions of years ago, so thankfully you won’t run into one on a walk.  A scientist who studies dinosaurs is called a paleontologist (pa-le-on-to-lo-gist).  They study dinosaur bones and fossils to learn more about their habits, the food they ate, and their size. During this Adventure, you will match dinosaurs to their names, and you’ll use your imagination to create your own dinosaur. 

1. Play a dinosaur game that shows what you know about them.
2. Create an imaginary dinosaur. Share with your den or family its name, what it eats, its size, and where it lives.
3. Be a paleontologist and dig through a dinosaur dig.
4. Build a fossil layer.
