The teacher models how to compare dinosaur teeth, claws, tails, legs, feathers, and scales with modern animals using large photo cards and movement imitation. Children then work with partners to match body-part cards to what the part might help an animal do, such as eat, move, or stay safe. The class turns broad wonderings into stronger question stems like 'How do we know...?' and 'Which body part helps...?'
