Everybody loves to learn about dinosaurs—and students in Early Childhood at St. Richard’s are no exception.  On the morning of Friday, January 20, the EC students were treated to a fun science lab presented by Ms. Emily from Mad Science focused on the long extinct reptiles.

The students learned about the different types of dinosaurs, about the different teeth of herbivores and carnivores, and about various techniques used to uncover dinosaur fossils.  They also learned how to make a plaster cast of a T-Rex tooth in a cup filled with sand.
