 What does a skeleton tell you?

• What can we tell about this creature from its skeleton?

• (The scale tells us how big it was, we can see it had four limbs and
appears to use them all to walk, it has sharp canine teeth so it probably
was a meat eater not a herbivore etc.)
•  What could we not tell from the bones? 
• (Colour, that it had spines, how it sounded, etc.)

 Place a sample of soil in a transparent jar with a lid.
Half fill the jar with soil and top with water leaving about 2 cm
clear at the top.
Stir and leave the contents to settle.
Each soil is different and we can start to look at the differences
by making a ʻsoil fingerprintʼ, a profile that is unique to soil in a
particular area, just as our fingerprints are unique.
