@omi I used your idea today in class! I didn't have layers but I made playdough balls in three different colours, each with a dinosaur inside. Didn't have time to let them dry, but the kids loved making dinosaur tracks and impressions afterwards in the soft dough.
They took their excavated dino to a station to find a matching picture, and learn their dinosaur's name. Next they put their dino picture on a chart in the Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous row, depending on the colour of the dough! It was great fun!

@omi what a great idea!
@poswald ooh that looks fun! Might take a while to print enough for a whole classroom. But could be a good activity station among others!
@gary_bbgames that's a good idea! Challenge is finding some that are easy enough for 4-5 year olds to do in a short time... I might test one on my daughter first!
Any recommendations for #dinosaur activities for a class of 4-5 year-olds? Visiting my daughter's classroom in a few weeks to talk about #dinosaurs, but coming up short on ideas! I have access to #3dprinting and laser cutter if that helps... #SciComm #education 🦖🦕

Can you see the bat sleeping in the snow?❄️
The Ussuri tube-nosed bat (𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘶𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴), found in Japan, Siberia, & Korea, is one of only two animals known to hibernate in snow- the other being polar bears.

Another #introduction post for all the new Twitter people (and just new people in general!). A little about me: I’m Sabrina - I’m a #writer (some #scicomm) and #author of #ScienceFiction (and #ClimateFiction and #dystopian) #books - my series Aestus was on the Amazon hard #scifi bestseller list recently. 😊 I also do #archery and #photography and enjoy #hiking - I would love to get into #astrophotography. I am learning #German and really enjoy good convos/coffee/tea. Sry for so many hashtags 😅
@garius you got me so good, I'm not even mad
Just seen on Mastodon that the Sony/BMG royalty dispute means Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You up" is now blocked globally on YouTube. Playing just yields a "blocked in your region" message.
Absolute end of an internet era. 😔
8 wheels = 96 "legs" to bring to #SICB2023 Keep your eyes out for the passive dynamic walkers on Thursday 👀

Hi folks
I’m a senior Curator of Flies and Fleas at the #naturalhistorymuseumlondon
I’ve been working & playing there for about 15 years and am slightly obsessed by flies…
If you want to know more about #flies, the #collection, #curation, #research or #fieldwork ask away….
