DIRECTIONS: Become a paleontologist! Look through the books Teacher-‐Mom has set out for you, and select one dinosaur you want to study. Then choose three tasks from the TIC-‐TAC-‐TOE board below to learn about it. Which projects sound most interesting to you? (You must do the middle!) Ask your Teacher-‐Mommy for help when you need it -‐-‐ She will be working on a presentation too! Use Teacher-‐Mom’s website, your books, and your magazines to research all there is to know for a presentation. Do more if you want! Most importantly, be creative and increase your FLUENCY! (We L♥VE fluency )
TIC-TAC-DINO! Be a paleontologist! Find and type or write on a sheet of paper the rules paleontologists use to define a dinosaur. Use the Science Kids, Kids-‐Dinosaurs, and Enchanted Learning websites to find your answers: * http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/science facts/dinosaurs/types.html * http://www.kids-dinosaurs.com/dinosaur-names.html * http://www.enchantedlearning.com/ subjects/dinosaurs/questions/faq/Names. shtml
Storytime… Create a book where you write a story about something you WISH was extinct. Make sure you have a setting, characters, theme or conflict, and a moral for why this animal became extinct. Use the story planner to outline your story. http://www.abcteach.com/free/s/storyplanner_animal.pdf
Power Pointed Claws! Create a PowerPoint presentation about your chosen dinosaur. Put together all of the information you have gathered and prepare a presentation on its name, what it means, anatomy, habitat, survival skills, time period, and other interesting facts. Add cool pictures and movements and sound. Your Teacher-‐Mom will help you!
Life of a Dino! Create a Dinosaur Time Line. Include on your time line: -‐when your dinosaur lived -‐other dinosaurs that lived during the same -‐other “periods” dinosaurs lived and what dinos were around -‐when man was alive! -‐decorate your timeline with pictures and neat writing
Science Report Research your dinosaur. Use the research cards to record your info including the dinosaur’s name, what it means, its anatomy, habitat, survival skills, time period, and other interesting facts. Use your books, computer, and Teacher-‐Mom to help with research. Use the research cards to record your sources and info. Feel free to make a research chart too!
Picture it! Create a picture of your chosen dinosaur. Ideas: make a painting, drawing, sculpture, diorama, or any other way to show what your dinosaur looked like and where it lived. Label its parts and write a little about the job each part played in helping it live.
Game Creation, whoooo Create a game or activity to teach others about how your dinosaur moved, ate, and survived. Research facts and myths about your dinosaur or all dinos, and then create a board game or game show to test others’ knowledge of dinosaurs!
EXTINCTION. No joke. Research and the current theories of extinction. What is your theory of extinction for the dinosaurs. Do you agree with any current theories or do you have one of your own? Record your idea and create a poster to encourage people to save an endangered animal of your choice from extinction. What can we do?
It’s ALIVE!!! Create your own dinosaur. You’ve just found a dinosaur egg at Dinosaur National Monument in Utah unlike any other found before. Draw your new dinosaur, give it a name, and write about it. Be sure to include anatomy, habitat, survival skills, time period, predators and prey, interesting facts, and life cycle.
