Lesson Planning

Find out about the three main periods of the Mesozoic Era and portray their landscapes and vegetation in a 3D model.

Teaching Outcomes:

• To consider the different landscapes and climates of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods of the Mesozoic Era.
• To construct a model Mesozoic Era, portraying the three different landscapes of the periods within it.

Children will:

• Recognise the different landscapes of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods of the Mesozoic Era.
• Discuss, with understanding, how the vegetation and climate changed during the Mesozoic Era.
• Construct a model Mesozoic Era, portraying the three different landscapes and vegetation of the periods within it.
