Learners examine the extinction of dinosaurs.  In this dinosaur lesson students create their own dinosaur eggs, get into groups and complete a diorama activity. 

Students estimate the live mass of dinosaurs. Using dinosaur and modern animal models, students use simple displacement methods to calculate the volume of the models. They calculate the masses of each model. Students compare the...

Students discuss evidence of a pre-dinosaur era meteoric collision, and its impact on living creatures. They build buckyball molecule models out of marshmallows, toothpicks, and soccer balls.

Students use the Internet to search for dinosaurs, then distinguish between meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs. They explore theories about the extinction of dinosaurs and create illustrations of dinosaurs using Kid Pix or other...

Here is a 14-page lesson plan that deftly outlines a wonderful educational experience for your youngsters. In it, young scholars learn about a variety of animals that have left behind clues of their existence in fossil form. Many...

Second graders explore dinosaur classifications and how animals of long ago became extinct. They conduct research, classify dinosaurs, and in small groups, develop a name of a new dinosaur, create a poster, and present the information to...

In this science worksheet, learners investigate and compare 14 species of dinosaur by first reading about what their names mean. Students read 25 facts about these dinosaurs and complete a word search puzzle.

Sixth graders research the theories on the extinction of the dinosaurs. In this dinosaur extinction lesson, 6th graders view a video clip about scientific inquiry. They work in groups to research the two theories on dinosaur extinction.

Third graders examine animals and organisms that have become extinct and their similarities to living organisms.  In this extinction lesson students divide into groups and research extinct animals.

Students gain understanding of how a fossil is formed and why they are so important.  In this fossil instructional activity students create their own fossils.
