Lesson Planning
Research key features of dinosaurs and then design a dinosaur perfectly adapted to either the Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous period.
Teaching Outcomes:
- To research and compare key facts about dinosaurs from either the Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous period.
- To design and plan a dinosaur perfectly adapted to suit the period.
Children will:
- Compare key features of dinosaurs from either the Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous period (size, defence, diet, teeth, movement and skin colour).
- Collate information about habitat, eating habits and ecosystem of dinosaurs from their chosen period.
- Use their research knowledge to design a dinosaur perfectly adapted to suit the period and plan the dinosaur on paper, with labelled features.
