Jim Henson's Dinosaur Train
"Go outside, get into nature and make your own discoveries!"
That is what Dr. Scott challenges his viewers to do at the end of each Dinosaur Train episode.
Dinosaur Train Geocaching
The Jim Henson Company has enlisted the help of PBS stations, museums, zoos, and aquariums nationwide to hide Dinosaur Train themed geocaches. Geocaching is a family friendly outdoor adventure that blends technology, gaming and environmental discovery. Each geocache features one of the dinosaurs found on the online Dinosaur Train Field Guide and contains educational information related to that dinosaur.
Why Dinosaur Train and Geocaching?
Geocaching encourages children to explore their surroundings, use observational skills and have an adventure right in their own neighborhood. Critical and creative thinking skills are necessary when seeking a geocache, and these cornerstones of problem solving and scientific thought are modeled and transferred to children when geocaching with an older caregiver. For more information on this educational outreach initiative please visit the Dinosaur Train Geocaching.com Page.
About Kentrosaurus:
Living around 150 million years ago in Africa, Kentrosaurus is often considered to have been the close cousin of Stegosaurus. Like Stegosaurus, Kentrosaurus had plates attached to its back. However, unlike Stegosaurus, these plates gradually became narrower as they ran down its body until they were more like spikes. Like other members of the Stegosauridae, or plated dinosaur group, Kentrosaurus had a very small brain.
