Second graders explore dinosaurs and identify them by their size. They compare the dinosaurs with objects around the school or on the playground. Students predict which dinosaurs are the largest and then measure the length of dinosaurs.

Third graders practice using a database to find information related to dinosaurs. Using the data, they make informational cards to use while developing a timeline that shows when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. They answer comprehension...

Students explore the concept of extinction by studying dinosaurs. In this dinosaur lesson, students distinguish between extinct creatures and those that still exist.

Students graph the varying sizes of dinosaurs.  In this math and dinosaur lesson, students view dinosaur models and compare the different shapes and sizes of the dinosaurs.  Students complete a dinosaur math activity, read The...

In this ordering by size worksheet, students cut out three pictures of dinosaurs and paste them in order from large to small.

Students read all about dinosaurs. In this biology lesson plan, students  examine how to use library research as integral part of scientific research.

In this science and math worksheet, 5th graders answer four different questions related to dinosaurs. They graph the information with data located at a given website.

Here is an interesting lesson plan on how old things are designed for young scientists. In it, learners compile a list of their birthdays, and the class puts them in sequential order from youngest to oldest. Then, they sequence 15...

Fourth graders create enlarged replica of a stegosaurus drawing, using a grid to practice coordinates.

Compare sizes of student footprints with those of elephants and sauropod dinosaurs! Upper graders make estimations of the areas of irregular shapes; students use grids to make and explain estimates within low and high ranges.

Students read How to Train with a T.Rex and Win 8 Gold Medals and solve math problems.  In this dinosaur math lesson, students write a math story to go with the dinosaur story.  Students discuss the needed strategies. Students...

Students investigate the history of dinosaurs, as real animals. In this dinosaur lesson plan, students examine basic concepts that help them understand the history of all life. Included in this article is information on the world of the...

Students role play as paleontologists who make inferences about the weight of dinosaurs. They use models and the density of water to make these inferences.

Second graders familiarize themselves with dinosaurs through online research.

Pupils investigate where scientists find dinosaur bones and decide why rebuilding them is important. They create a scale model of a dinosaur.

Young scholars examine science. In this scientific method instructional activity, students are introduced to what every experiment contains (hypothesis, critical thinking) and how an experiment is conducted. They watch a demonstration...

Learners 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. Learners compare the...

High schoolers calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.

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...

An interesting series of puzzles and word games are available in this multi-page collection, which focuses on coal. Learners practice math and language arts skills as they solve the puzzles, and learn many facts about coal at the same time.

Fifth graders interpret a table of data about food chains in the ocean. They create a food chain to represent the information on the table. Periwinkles eat seaweed, and crabs eat periwinkles - so who eats crabs? Extend the activity with...

Students examine dinosaur footprints and compare them to the shape of elephant footprints and to the size of their own footprints.

Learners, using paper and water, make tracks and record the time needed to make them. They compare tracks made walking and running to determine the speed of the animal.

If Earth was formed 4600 million years ago, and the sun revolves about the center of the Milky Way once every 250 million years, how many revolutions have occurred? Students answer this question and ten more, all providing students with...
