ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

If you'd like to sneak in a little math, we did a "How many of your feet 
long is a dinosaur" exhibit as part of a math exhibition.  Obviously our 
focus was on the importance of standard units (10-11 kid's feet versus 
7-8 adult's feet).  We made a simple plywood 3-D life size "model" of a 
Dravidosaurus (hooray for overhead projectors...).

You can see a photo at the top of the second page (and I can send you 
others):

You could also measure how tall (we did that with a painting of a horse 
for this exhibition).
