3D Mesozoic Timeline Part 2

Populate your model of the Mesozoic Era with pictures of the correct dinosaur species living in each of the three periods.

Teaching Outcomes:

• To consider the different dinosaurs that lived in the landscapes of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous epochs of the Mesozoic Era.
• To populate the model Mesozoic Era with vegetation and images of dinosaur species considered to have lived in each of the three epochs.

Children will:

• Recognise the different species of dinosaurs that lived in the landscapes of the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous epochs of the Mesozoic Era.
• Consider how the vegetation, climate and landscape may have influenced and sustained the different species of dinosaurs that occupied them.
• Discuss, with understanding, how the vegetation changed during the Mesozoic Era.

• Art straws
• PVA glue
• Modelling moss
