Science Trek
Science Trek is a place where parents, kids, and educators can watch short, educational videos on a variety of science topics. Every Monday Science Trek releases a new video that introduces children to math, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) career potentials in a fun, informative way.[MUSIC] Joan Cartan-Hansen, Host: Dinosaurs were big eaters.
The biggest long-necked dinosaurs could eat a half of ton of veggies every day.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex could bite with 13 thousand pounds of force.
It could eat 500 pounds of meat, about the size of a modern cow, in one bite.
All dinosaurs laid eggs.
The smallest dinosaur eggs found measured less than an inch across.
The largest were football-shaped and were two to three times bigger than ostrich eggs.
Paleontologist David Varricchio found this fossilized nest of dinosaur eggs in Montana.
David Varricchio: The whole egg would be about this long, so yeah-big.
They're kind of neat because they have a bumpy surface, different from modern reptiles and modern birds.
They have kind of a goose bumped texture to them.
Check out the science trek website for more information about this and all our science topics for kids.
