Explain that children are going to learn about:
Ask children: What does the place in the photo look like? (dry, dusty, steep). Where do you think we can find skeletons of animals from long ago in this picture? (under ground). Ask children: What is your favorite animal from long ago? (answers will vary). Say: Some animals lived many years ago that no longer live today. We can learn about these animals by looking at their skeletons and fossils. How is it different to learn about animals that are alive today from animals that lived long ago? (harder to learn about animals from long ago, less to look at, have to dig for bones).
Have children play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature. After the first game, ask children to talk about other names of animals from long ago that they know and help the children learn more about animals from long ago they are interested in. After the second game, have them describe how scientists could use the tools to research animals from long ago.
Ask children: Why is it important to learn about animals from long ago? Explain. Summarize for children that there are many ways we can learn about animals from long ago. We can research them. We can look at their skeletons and fossils. Encourage children to think about what animals they’d like to learn more about from long ago.
