| SWBAT use resources of the Internet, cooperative learning, critical thinking, and problem solving skills to identify "dinosaur fossils." |
| SWBAT use the Internet to search for and then develop answers to dinosaur questions. |
| Given the proper materials, student will make an imprint
in plaster of paris.
Students will use observation skills to compare and contrast the imprint with a real fossil print. |
| Students will construct a model of rock layers and infer the relative ages of the layers within the model. They will complete a KWL using Kidspiration to express what they have learned. |
| Given pictures, students will be able to:
-define a glacier. -identify forces such as, wind, moving water, glaciers, earthquakes, floods, and people, that cause change on Earth -present their presentation orally. |
| Given a picture of a dinosaur, students will be able
to construct
its skeleton out of pipe cleaners. |
| SWBAT graph the length of a variety of dinosaurs using cooperative learning skills. |
| SWBAT conduct a survey to determine the dinosaur that is the favorite among other students. |
| SWBAT use Writer's Workshop to develop a journal of daily events of their favorite dinosaur to then share and compare with students from around the world. |
| SWBAT break apart dinosaur names to understand the actual meaning of the word and then use that knowledge to create a made-up dinosaur using KidPix. |
| SWBAT identify and classify the types of food eaten by dinosaurs using Kidspiration and the ways that these can be detected using the Enchanted Learning Website. |
| SWBAT use their background knowledge developed throughout the unit to identify the names of dinosaurs based on their descriptions and make basketball shots for each one known. |
