Janet Riehecky is the author of 34 children's books on dinosaurs. She will captivate your students with her highly visual and very entertaining presentation as she shows students her extensive collection of fossils and museum-quality replicas of real dinosaur bones including a 5' 7" Apatosaurus femur and an entire foot of a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Follow the clues to learn the latest theories about dinosaurs: how big they grew, what they ate, how they lived together, and why they fought. Examine a tyrannosaur's tooth, an iguanodon's thumb, or a velociraptor's claw. Find out why some dinosaurs ate rocks and which dinosaurs made good mothers.
"Dinosaur Encounter" is an ideal presentation for teaching about dinosaurs and about how scientific theories are formed. Talks are geared to the students' grade level. Individual talks last about an hour, but can be adjusted to any schedule.
