Science Trek
Science Trek is a place where parents, kids, and educators can watch short, educational videos on a variety of science topics. Every Monday Science Trek releases a new video that introduces children to math, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) career potentials in a fun, informative way.[MUSIC] Joan Cartan-Hansen, Host: Lots of animal species that lived alongside dinosaurs have similar relatives that can be found today.
Sturgeon, Jellyfish, and you guessed it, cockroaches.
Most believe that one branch of dinosaurs, the theropods, evolved into birds.
The most telling find supporting this theory is the Archaeopteryx.
This fossil was found in southern Germany.
It had a long bony tail, toothed head, and claws like a dinosaur, but feathers and structures like a bird.
Most controversial is the theory that proteins found in T Rex tissue are similar to proteins found in chicken.
So, the next time you eat chicken, you might just be getting a taste of dinosaur.
Check out the science trek website for more information about this and all our science topics for kids.
You'll find it at ScienceTrek.org [MUSIC]
