As each piece is revealed, it should fossil, like a dinosaur? How can scientists ensure be put down on the grid at the correct place and that they obtain the maximum evidence from their drawn around to show the outline of the bone. The discoveries and do not accidentally destroy vital excavated sand should be put in a spare pot. clues? 然后让学生把埋藏在沙里面的骨架挖出来，但要用 科学家是如何挖掘象恐龙这样的大型化石的？科学 比老前辈们更“科学”的方法。对每一块发现的骨 家是如何确保从发现中得到尽量多证据的同时，又 头，都要在栅格上记录正确的地点，和画出骨头的 避免损坏这些关键的线索？ 轮廓。挖出来的沙子要放在罐子里面。 Set up a tray full of dry sand, in which is hidden When the pupils have finished, they should see if the dismembered bits of a toy dinosaur skeleton. they can reconstruct the dinosaur (or chicken!). 用沙把盘子填满，在里面埋一副拆散的玩具恐龙骨 学生结束挖掘后，他们该看看他们能否重组那只恐 架。 龙（或小鸡！）。 Alternatively, the bones of one dead animal or small chicken could be scattered throughout the sand (having first boiled and sun-dried the bones to sterilise them).

Another variation is to assemble part of the skeleton and leave the pupils to find the missing bits. 或者把动物的骨头，例如鸡骨头，分散在沙里面 （先用水煮并晾晒的方法给骨头杀菌）。毕竟绝种 的恐龙跟现代鸟类是近亲！让一两块骨头露在外 面，就好像真正的骨架埋在沙漠里的情况一样。 另一种方式是把部分骨架装配好，让学生找缺少的
