Meet the giraffe camel, the bone-crushing dog and the eubelodon! This issue that introduces young paleontologists to unique animals that roamed the plains 11 million years ago. How do scientists know they actually lived so long ago? Evidence in the form of fossils was left behind when these animals were covered with ash from an enormous volcanic explosion hundreds of miles away. Although their names and features seem like something you might see in a science fiction film, these pre-historic creatures were very much a part of our planet’s past. Discover how they were discovered by chance and what a rare find this was!
In this issue students will:

- use simple math to identify grammar terms
- use the newspaper to “dig up” more parts of speech
