This is wonderful! My students had to read and decipher what type of organism it was, but since the focus was on dinosaurs, it made it that much more interesting. The key to the sort was not correct, however.

I used this resource with my students to teach them about the differences between omnivores, herbivores, and carnivores, specifically relating to dinosaurs. They loved the sorting activity and the use of visuals really helped them to be able to work independently. Great resource!
