Today I explored dinosaurs at a Web site! I found out how tall different dinosaurs were, and how much they weighed. For example, the Allosaurus was meters tall. Then I compared the dinosaurs' heights and weights to Rigs the Robot's height and weight. Some dinosaurs were taller and heavier than Rigs, but some were not!
You can find out more about this topic by asking your teacher or parents to show you other Web sites.
