Performance Assessment #2: Digging Dinosaurs
Here you will explore dinosaurs and archaeologists, people who study fossils and dinosaurs. You will decide on what is the most cost effective (best cost) for you to visit the dinosaur museum as well as discover a trunk that lets you know how far an archaeologist must dig in order to find dinosaurs 10,000 years ago and 20,000 years ago.
Good luck and don't forget your action plan! Draw pictures it always helps!!
