About this word search
Alberta is one of the richest places on Earth for dinosaur fossils, and Dinosaur Provincial Park in the south of the province is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller puts many of those finds on display. A young fan who has made the trip will recognize Fossil, Skeleton and Museum from the visit.
Even for a seven-year-old expert, this eighteen by eighteen board asks for patience, because names can hide in reverse and on slants. Tyrannosaurus and Brachiosaurus are the longest, so begin there. Five names end in SAURUS, which means lizard, so when you find that ending, check the start of the word before you circle it.
Herbivore and Carnivore invite a quick sort into plant eaters and meat eaters afterwards. Spinosaurus is a good one to debate, since scientists think it caught much of its food in rivers.
