Fact Finding Quest: How Dinosaurs Ate (Herbivores and Omnivores)

Lesson
When it comes to eating, dinosaurs, especially herbivorous (plant eating) and omnivorous (plant and animal eating) ones, had a lot of different strategies.
In many cases, what and how they ate their food depended on the shape of their bodies and their teeth.
Listen to 3 I Know Dino episodes and find 3 ways that herbivorous or omnivorous dinosaurs ate their food. Share what you learned by either creating a Google slide or discussing.
