Students examine how scientists are at odds on whether or not dinosaurs were warm or cold blooded.  In this dinosaurs lesson students divide into groups and research the evidence that supports each side. 

Eighth graders determine the difference between extinction and endangered species. Using the internet, they research one endangered species, identify its common and specific name, where it lives and what it eats. To end the lesson,...

First graders listen to and discuss Patrick's Dinosaurs by Carol Carrick. They have a pretend dinosaur dig using dog biscuits and chicken bones. Students discuss how fossils are formed and make reproductions of them. After discussing the...

Students write a report about a paleontologist. In this paleontology lesson plan, students research and write a report about a noted paleontologist. They discuss the importance of technology to paleontologists and how paleontologist...

Students explore reasons why the dinosaurs became extinct, and the specific needs (habitat, environment, food) of individual types of dinosaurs.

Students determine the relationship between leg length, stride length, and speed in humans and bipedal dinosaurs. They collect data and graph these human characteristics then use actual data collected from dinosaur track pads and fossils...

Fourth graders research and analyze theories on why dinosaurs became extinct. They need to find clues as to what the cause may have been. They record the evidence that they find to support their theory on the Dinosaur Extinction Theory...

Young scholars use the internet to search for information and pictures of dinosaurs. They distinguish between meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs and explore theories about the extinction of dinosaurs.

Students discover dinosaur facts using internet research. In this 2nd - 3rd grade lesson plan, students identify various dinosaur facts. Students use internet research to answer questions regarding dinosaurs.

Students investigate dinosaurs. In this life science lesson, students watch video clips on the website http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/dinos/video/video.html and discuss the characteristics of the dinosaurs. Students create dinosaur...

Students understand what it means when an animal is extinct. In this dinosaur lesson, students create dinosaur dioramas showing their habitat and what in their environment might make them become extinct. students pay particular attention...

Third graders investigate how some extinct organisms resemble organisms that are still alive today. They watch and discuss the Magic School Bus video about fossils, then create clay fossil imprints, matching the imprints to plaster of...

Students take a pre-test to show their prior knowledge of dinosaurs. Using the internet, they reasearch the time period in which they roamed the Earth. Focusing on the area of Connecticut, they compare and contrast the large and small...

Students study the existence of dinosaurs as a precursor to learning about extinction. In this dinosaurs instructional activity, students watch dinosaur video at assigned web sites. They discuss what they observed in the videos including...

Students explore dinosaurs and their extinction. In this dinosaur lesson, students view dinosaur websites and videos to gain an understanding of the world long ago. Discussion questions follow. Students create a paper mache dinosaur egg.

Students study what happened to the dinosaurs and possible causes of extinction.  In this investigative lesson students create dinosaur eggs. 

Students find the similarities of dinosaurs and the animals of today. For this dinosaurs lesson, students understand why dinosaurs have become extinct. Students research and create dinosaur dioramas and finger puppets.

Students examine videos of field researach to discover the components of the scientific process. Using forms, they conduct community surveys about the nature of science. They research the extinction of dinosaurs and compare...

Students compare and contrast dinosaurs to animals that are alive today through basic research.

Pupils observe models of two kinds of forests with low and high biodiversity. They observe and record the effects of habitat destruction or extinction rates. They also conduct research about mass extinction like that of the ancient...

Students describe the physical characteristics of dinosaurs, compare and contrast the evolution of land, and they explore the extinction of dinosaurs.

In this science worksheet, 3rd graders will respond to questions pertaining to dinosaurs. Students will answer ten questions consisting of true/false, and multiple choice.

Learners examine the concept of extinction by studying dinosaurs. In this living environment lesson, students view dinosaur video clips and define the word "extinction." Learners visit the "Zoom Dinosaur" website to investigate various...

Young scholars explore the concept of extinction. For this dinosaur lesson, students view a video and have a class discussion about the extinction of dinosaurs. They create a dinosaur egg and imagine what life would be like for a dinosaur.
