The title is no joke: with some wire, glue, and other common items, you can actually construct a Brontosaurus from the bones of a chicken, and provide added support for the long-standing theory that dinosaurs evolved into birds. Assembling a Brontosaurus teaches the skeletal anatomy of dinosaurs and the comparative anatomy between the two species. Easy-to-follow, illustrated instructions lead you through the process; interesting sidebars provide more information on different types of dinosaurs, dinosaur evolution, and paleontological procedures; and 50 discussion questions help students review what they’ve learned. The book even includes chicken recipes. Softcover, 144 pages.
