Students use relevant evidence and logical reasoning to construct theories for dinosaur behavior. They examine recent evidence that challenges a prevailing dinosaur theory.

Students explain how the earth makes fossils and how dinosaur remains become fossils. In this Bringing Dinosaurs Back to Life lesson, students solve paleo-puzzles which ask students to solve problems as if they were paleontologists....

Second graders investigate dinosaurs. They explore various websites, submit questions to a paleontologist online, construct cut and paste model dinosaur skeletons, develop a graph to compare dinosaurs, and label pictures from online...

Students act as paleontologists, examining pictures of dinosaur skeletons and applying their knowledge of the relationship between skeletal features and survival, to create 'Paleontology Reports' about their perceptions of the lives of...

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

Pupils 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.

Pupils examine amphibian evolution by comparing fossils with a modern-day skeleton. They experience the scientific thought process of drawing conclusions from limited paleontological data. Student groups align the figures with the time...

Students collect a variety of drawings of dinosaurs and maps of a zoo. Students observe an animal in motion during a field trip to a zoo from reproducible worksheets. Students study about the process by which scientists and film...

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...

Students search for information and pictures of dinosaurs to distinguish between meat-eating and plant-eating dinosaurs. They explore theories about their extinction, and create illustrations of dinosaurs using Kid Pix or other drawing...

Learners analyze and write about their findings of the dinosaur discoveries of Edward Cope. In this Edward Cope lesson plan, students examine illustrations of concept maps, discuss challenges, analyze skeleton diagrams, and write...

Students investigate what a fossil is and how it came to be.  In this fossil lesson, students examine pictures of skeletons and identify characteristics that can and cannot be determined by a fossil.  Students complete diagrams...

Students research characteristics of deserts. They present their findings in small groups to the class. Students utilize information learned about desert biomes, geography of the route of the Niger, and expeditions in their writing.

Students examine and research the importance and functions of the skeletal system in vertebrates. They construct a 10-foot geodesic dome to illustrate the importance of architectural frameworks and create a clay animation movie.
