Compare Allosaurus with Tyrannosaurus

I listed down the facts about Allosaurus and Tyrannosaurus for the children to make comparison such as size, weight, diet etc.

	Allosaurus	Tyrannosaurus
Meaning	Other lizard; strange lizard	Tyrant lizard
Group	Theropods	Theropods
Diet	Carnivorous	Meat
Size	12m long, 3m high	13m long, 5m high
Weight	1.1 – 1.9 tons	5.5 tons

From the table above, the children could tell some of the facts are the same while some of the facts are different. We also compare which dinosaur is much heavier or taller.

Then I brought in the concept of which number is bigger or smaller. I even used numbers of sweets to give a simple example for those who can’t understand the concept.
