Build a dinosaur printable

Free Printable Build-a-T-Rex Dinosaur | Mrs. Merry

Learn how to make a dinosaur with our free 1-page printable build-a-dinosaur kit. Make a Tyrannosaurus Rex, which means “king” in latin. The name is quite fitting, since it is is one of the most popular and well represented dinosaurs!

This a great preschool or kindergarten activity for those children who love dinosaurs. Color the T-Rex any way you like, make her green or even purple! Just color, cut and create your very own prehistoric creature!

Maybe you’re just looking to color a dinosaur? Well, our free T-Rex dinosaur printable comes in a dinosaur coloring page! Just simply print and color. So, whether you want to make a dinosaur or simply color one, our free activity has you covered.

I recommend laminating all of our Build activities. Laminating gives this craft a bit more permanence. Kids can put the craft together over and over again without worrying about having to cut and color each time. I don’t use anything fancy, just a simple and easy laminator. This is the laminator I use and recommend, you literally just turn it on, it heats up, and you’re ready to start laminating anything everything!

I’m also a big fan of the self-sealing laminating pouches! They are super easy! You literally just place your printable in a letter size pouch, run it through the laminator and you have a sealed and long-lasting item!

Also, if you do choose to laminate, stick little self-adhesive velcro dots on the laminated pieces so your kids can attach and reattach easily. This eliminates the use of any messy glue!

Below is what is included in your T-Rex dinosaur download (see the bottom of the page for actual download instructions):

3D printing of viable DNA molecules could resurrect the Jurassic era

It is well known that everything is better with lasers, and lasers seem to be able to make DNA 3D printing dangerously close to what we might call "accessible to the masses" , and it's all made possible by Cambrian Genomics, a biotech startup based in San Francisco.

Humans, it looks like we'll have cloned dinosaurs soon. You heard right. Now we can literally print viable strands of DNA. Of course, all this is not yet so close to real life, but these developments are clearly the first step into the real world of Jurassic Park. In a video published on Bloomberg, Cambrian Genomics co-founder Heinz Austin even claims that we will soon have cloned dinosaurs:

“This technology will allow us to actually bring back dinosaurs, bring back extinct animal species, and in addition, create new life forms that will help us survive in space and go to other planets”

Laboratory and synthesis of DNA molecules at 3D printing help

And apparently we will get not just dinosaurs, but dinosaurs capable of living in space. Of course, for a couple more years we may not worry about our laboratory-grown space tyrannosaurs, with laser blasters on their backs and devouring people, but today it is already becoming just a matter of time. Anyone can create super space dinosaurs and they'll be great.

The cost of printing various genomes and their components, from left to right: protein, plasmid, bacterial genome, yeast genome, human genome.

Amazingly, it turns out that DNA printing is not a new technology at all. We have been doing this for many years now. This technology is used to create drugs, to study dangerous pathogens, and we can even program DNA to store huge amounts of data. The catch is not the ability to synthesize DNA, but the cost of the process. Printing the human genome using traditional methods would cost billions of dollars, and in doing so, we would get only one set of human chromosomes. This high price is due to the high failure rate in DNA cultivation. An incredibly large amount of DNA can be grown very quickly, but a large percentage of them will contain errors and defects that make them useless and therefore need to be sorted. As you can probably guess, sorting billions of strands of DNA is a bit of a time consuming process.

But the new technology developed by Cambrian Genome speeds up this process many, many times over thanks to laser printers for DNA sorting, which makes this process much faster, and therefore more affordable. How accessible will it be? A DNA laser printer will produce more viable DNA at one time than all the machines in the world can produce in one year. Turning the DNA printing process into something that can be accessed by more than just some multi-billionaire or super villain who wants to breed a cosmic thug dinosaur would probably serve humanity well.

Growing synthetic DNA is not the easiest process, but, in fact, they are grown in a sense, like grass. Millions of strands are formed by mixing basic DNA compounds in a specific sequence. After the filaments are formed, they are detached from the structures on which they have grown and then attached to a one micron ball. After one strand of DNA is attached to each bead, the strand itself is cloned in such a way that each bead has multiple copies of the strand that was attached to it first. The beads are then moved onto a small glass slide and a laser printer examines the DNA strands and selects those beads that contain the correct strands. Thus, full-fledged DNA molecules are sent to special cells, and all unwanted or defective DNA remains on the glass.

Genome lab 3D laser printer

This process starts with one million strands of DNA grown in the lab and ends up with a billion cloned, quality strands sorted at up to a hundred strands per second. As Heinz put it, this will make DNA a commodity.

"Anyone can be a genetic designer"

Of course, that's a little scary considering some of the consumer products that have managed to hit the market today, but it's surprising. We are already living in the future. We are no longer only printing cases for our smartphones, we are able to create life through 3D printing. Yes, it will probably be 3D printed life that will turn into space dinosaurs that can eat us, but, you must admit, this is a truly exciting prospect.
