Third Graders Visit the Dinosaurs . . .

. . . at the Pink Palace Museum. The third grade classes had a special presentation on dinosaurs during their field trip to the Pink Palace. They got to touch an actual Triceratops leg bone, various teeth, and many other fossils. Students compared their hands to the prints of a giant plant eater and looked at fossils found in Memphis during construction projects, including giant wooly mammoth remains.

Afterwards students toured and saw many types of animal bones in addition to a memorable video on insects. Students were given a very special “behind-the-scenes” tour and experienced items from Memphis history as well as rocks and preserved animal.
