Dinozorla Kahvaltı

[Bookbird] This is a story that cleverly combines science and fiction through the story of a dinosaur fossil found near Candy Primary School. The fossil skeleton, said to be 140 million years old, is to be set up in the school garden. Cleaning, measuring, numbering, photographing, classifying, and entering into the computer these data about the fossil changes students’ attitudes toward school. The magical world of the universe with its amazing living creatures becomes real to them. Eager to share their experience with the fossil, the children prepare a site on the Internet. The day the fossil is to be transported to a museum, the children are surprised to learn that they have won an award from the International Natural Sciences Research Society that includes an invitation for the group to travel to Canada, all expenses paid, to receive their prize.
