Instructional Ideas

  • Integrate these worksheets and activities into an elementary or middle school life science unit on pre-historic life
  • Reinforce children's understanding of the affixes listed in this resource by having them create new dinosaur names, making an illustration and written description of the creature
  • Assign each student one word from the "Dinosaur World Dictionary" worksheet to research and deliver short presentations about to the class

Classroom Considerations

  • While this resource is meant to accompany a viewing of the Walking with Dinosaurs TV series and live onstage performance, many of these materials can be used independently to teach about dinosaurs
  • This resource is only available on an unencrypted HTTP website.It should be fine for general use, but don’t use it to share any personally identifiable information

Pros

  • Activities and worksheets each indicate appropriate age levels, ranging from 5 to 13 years old
  • Offers an engaging activity in which students make their own sedimentary rocks containing fossils
  • Resource creates connections between earth and life science
  • Answer keys are included for specific worksheets

Cons

  • None
