Lizards
Dinosaurs are thought to have been reptiles. Begin the theme by introducing and discussing the characteristics of modern- day reptiles such as turtles, snakes and lizards. Have a pet lizard in class.
Living Fossils
Some creatures have survived to the present day, almost unchanged since dinosaur times. They are called "living fossils". Can you find the names of some living fossils?
(Tuatara-land creature of New Zealand, Sting Ray-sea creature of the tropics, Horseshoe Crab-sea creature of eastern coasts, Asia and North America,Scorpion-land creature of the tropics,Galapagos Tortoise- land creature of Galapagos Islands, Komodo Dragon-land creature of Indonesia, Lungfish-water creature of the tropics, Dragonfly-flying creature found worldwide, Coelacanth- sea creature of the Indian Ocean, and Gavial-land and water creature of northern India)
Herbivores and Carnivores

Find out what herbivore and carnivore mean.List some dinosaurs that would fit into each category.Then add some present day animals that would fit into each category. What do you call a creature that would eat items from both categories?
Fossil Find
Bone up on map skills with this latitude and longitude activity. Use a bone pattern to make 10 cut-out bones. Number and label each with a latitude and longitude direction. Post on a bulletin board around a world map. During free time, students use the map to identify the country and continent of each fossil bone. Share correct answers at the end of the week.

DINOSAUR PALEOECOLOGY:
DETERMINING THE DIET OF ANCIENT ANIMALS

Shreveport, LA 71104 Level: Upper elementary to senior high Anticipated Learning Outcomes
  • Students will explain the relationship between the shape of a tooth or toe bone and the animal's diet. (Meat-eater, herbivore, etc.)
  • Students will predict the overall size and shape of a dinosaur based on a single bone. (Is it large and bulky? Slim and fast?)
  • Students will understand the methodology of functional morphology, the study of why organisms have the shape they do. (Why does this animal have a tooth shaped like this? What type of food could best be cut by this shape of tooth?)
  • Students will interpret whether these animals were well adapted to their environment (e.g., "Survival of the Fittest"). (Is this the best possible shaped tooth/toe to help capture and eat a particular type of food? Does its predicted diet match with the known shape of the animal? How could the animal have been better shaped to obtain its type of food?)
  • Students will be introduced to basic concepts and methods of paleobiology, such as paleoecology and evolution.

Most animals and plants that die don't turn into fossils. Usually they're eaten by other animals or decay before they can be fossilized. But if a dying animal falls in the mud and is covered by more layers of mud, it will likely turn into a fossil. This how it works; the bones absorb minerals from the mud, and after a very long time, the mud turns to rock and the bones then become fossilized. The fossil is now made up of minerals. When paleontologists dig for fossils, they use tools such as trowels and brushes to gently unearth the fossil. Fossils are often fragile and must be handled gently. Paleontologists often make copies of fossilized bones using a special plastic so that they can reconstruct skeletons without damaging the fossils. The original fossils are then used for scientific study. Objective:
Students will get a sense of how fossils are uncovered and plaster molds are made.

Students are used to seeing animals, and they have probably also learned some things about dinosaurs or seen dinosaur reproductions in museums, movies, or elsewhere. This lesson asks students to think about the ways in which living animals use their bodies and the ways in which dinosaurs might have used their bodies, based on fossil evidence and our best educated guesses.

Lesson Plan This lesson plan is designed for grades 5-8 life sciences class. It addresses National Science Education Standards for science as inquiry, and content standards for life science (structure and function in living systems; diversity and adaptation of organisms). Content: The students will learn about fossilized dinosaur teeth. By exploring either the fossils themselves if available, or by using the computer activity with slides of fossils, the students will gain a sense of how the structure of dinosaur teeth relates to their function. They will also learn how the many systems of an animal (of which the digestive system, including teeth, is just one) work together to optimize the animal's survival in its ecological niche. Instructional Objective: Students are introduced to the idea that the structure of an organ/system corresponds to its function and can be informative about it. They should be able describe the relationship between the structure of dinosaur teeth and their function, and extrapolate this concept to present day animals. The students should also have an understanding of how the various systems of the animal cooperate to suit its mode of nutrition. Instructional Procedure: 1. Introduce students to/remind them of the concept of fossils. Fossils are petrified organic matter preserved in this form from the distant past. In most cases the matter has to be durable (such as bone, egg shells, sea shells) to be preserved in this way.

Instructional Unit:
The unit is great preparation for a field trip to the Dinosaur Hall of the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. A visit here provides the reality of the size and shape of these animals. It allows them to see what has excited scientists with so many examples of the skeletons, fossils, and representations of what life was like millions of years ago.
Curriculum Unit:
Grade K
Science Objectives: At the end of a 3-4 week on dinosaurs, the kindergarten student will: 1. Identify various dinosaurs and explain why they are different from other dinosaurs. (What they eat, their size, their body shape, their habitat). 2. Define the following words: Extinct, Paleontologist, Fossil. 3. Represent in art (painting, markers, journal drawing, stenciling) a scene in which dinosaurs are shown. 4. Identify animals that still exist today that lived with the dinosaurs.

by Karen Chin
from Fossil Assemblages That Indicate Predator/ Prey Interactions
Predator/prey interactions can occasionally be inferred from the associations of different organisms in exceptional fossil assemblages. One spectacular find from the Gobi Desert revealed the skeleton of a carnivorous Velociraptor entangled with a herbivorous Protoceratops (Fig. 26.1; Kielan-Jaworowska and Barsbold 1972). The relative positions of the two dinosaurs suggest that they were engaged in a struggle when they died, with the theropod's clawed feet extending into the Protoceratops Velociraptor as a scavenger that died of unknown causes while feeding. A more recent investigation (Unwin et al. 1995), however, argues that the taphonomic evidence supports the original predator/prey fight interpretation. Particularly telling is the fact that the theropod's arm is firmly locked in the herbivore's jaws a position that could not have occurred accidentally. This study suggests that the struggling dinosaurs died simultaneously in a massive sandstorm. The two different interpretations of the event recorded by this remarkable Upper Cretacaeous Mongolian assemblage differ in their characterization of Velociraptor as a scavenger or as an active hunter. Both explanations, however, conclude that the

Motivational Activity
The first day is the most critical for getting students to buy-in to this unit. Ideally, students should feel like they are taking on the role of a real paleontologist who is setting out to solve a real world problem. Motivational techniques for the first day include:
  • Use the photographs page - present students with questions like, "What do you think happened to the road? (photo #2)" , "Has anyone ever seen a dinosaur track?" Model of tracks - present a smaller version of the tracks, tied by string. Print out the actual size left and right foot prints and tie them together with string to create a model that show how several of the steps will look. The track print should be roughly 3 to 4 feet apart. View a small video clip from Jurrasic Park. Show just enough of the video to get their attention (perhaps as they are walking into class - then ask them " How do we know so much about them? Virtual field trip - to another site where dino tracks are. here are some examples.

What is a Dinosaur?
Millions of years ago, long before there were any people, there were dinosaurs. Dinosaurs were one of several kinds of prehistoric reptiles that lived during the Mesozoic Era , the "Age of Reptiles." Dinosaurs were reptiles and most hatched from eggs. No dinosaurs could fly and none lived in the water. Plant-eating sauropods were the largest animals to ever walk on Earth - but blue whales are more massive than any of the dinosaurs were! The largest dinosaurs were over 100 feet (30 m) long and up to 50 feet (15 m) tall (like Argentinosaurus , Seismosaurus, Ultrasauros Brachiosaurus , and Supersaurus ). The smallest dinosaurs, like
