Scientists can learn a lot of things about fossils. Here are just a few. 1. We can learn what types of organisms lived at what times and where they lived. 2. We can learn about when certain groups of animals evolved and what their ancestors were like. 3. We can learn how the continents drifted by comparing where fossil species have been found (for example, a species that was found in Africa and South America but couldn't cross an ocean would tell us that Africa and South America used to be connected. 4. We can learn about organisms that no longer exist, including what they ate and looked like, how big they were, and other traits.

Fossils and Dinosaurs focuses on what we have learned and can learn from fossils. In the first part of the lesson.They will then do the same for a Stegosaurus. This comparison is subtle, but demonstrates what we know as fact and what we know as theory, and more importantly, what sort of proof scientists need for fact to exist.
