Hancock Museum

This week we went to the Hancock museum, this task was to explore the skeletons of different animals and compare them to our own. The most interesting part for me was the T-Rex, to see the difference in our structure and how this difference affects our ability to move in a certain way.


As you can see the T-Rex's structure is very different from our own, their ribs are much larger than ours, which means their organs must have been bigger or more spread out and more protected. Their skull is also a lot bigger which means its heavier and will affect their movement, as they wont be able to turn their head as quickly. We will be exploring these differences in movements in our next lesson.
