Description:
Suitable for students in Years 3 - 6. This webquest is designed for
students to work in groups of four. Students must gather information
about a plant-eating dinosaur and put together a small presentation to
convince a hypothetical park that their choice of herbivore dinosaur
should be the one they bring back to life. The dinosaurs to research are:
Ankylosaurus(Brontosaurus), Corythosaurus, Saurolophus,
Apatosaurus, Iguanodon, Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Plateosaurus and
Triceratops. The links are easy to navigate through, and very
informative. They not only give students the opportunity to explore facts
about dinosaurs, but also artworks.

Description:
Designed for Year 6 students investigating Dinosaur extinction. Students
are required to find out the many ways, scientists/ paleontologists
believe the dinosaurs became extinct, and develop their own opinion as
to what happened to them. In groups of 4, assuming the roles of
scientists, each student must pick a different task to accomplish, based
on a theory of extinction - catastrophe, disease, the greenhouse effect,
a volcano, or the impact of a giant asteroid. Each student needs to then
research the theory of choice and then come back to the group to put
together their own information into a "highly specialized" news
broadcast that will be shown class wide about why the dinosaurs
became extinct. Each scientist will need to type out a 1-2 page script
and create at least 2 graphics with in a paint or draw program to
accompany their script and act as visual aids.

Description:
Designed for students in Year 3 but may be used for high 2nd Grade
students. Students are to read "Gila Monsters Will Meet You at the
Airport" The groups will then research gila monsters, dinosaurs and
dragons to determine which groups gila monsters are most closely
related to. Students have to write a persuasive paper; solve the
Dinosaur/Dragon wordsearch; create a KidPix picture of a Gila Monster;
arrange a debate with another team; and write and illustrate a poem.
Learning Outcomes listed. Duration: 2 - 3 weeks. Last updated June

Description:
Designed for students in Year 7 to develop skills in information literacy
but could be used for upper Primary/Elementary classes. This
webquest is designed around Jurassic Park and dinosaurs but students
need not have read the book. The aim of this webquest is to judge the
quality of a Web site. After researching about the "best web site"
students have to design a rubric for evaluating Web sites, then
evaluate web sites looking for the best sites about specific dinosaurs:
hadrosaurs, maiasaurs, velociraptors, tyrannosaurs, dilophosaurs,
procompsognathids, stegosaurs and cearadactyls. Students have to
write a memo recommending the five best sites about one of these
dinosaurs explaining why they chose those web sites.

Description:
Designed for Year 2 but could easily be used for older students as the
reading complexity is more suited to these students. The big question
is "If it were possible, should we make a 'Jurassic Park'?" Students have
to research different dinosaurs from the perspectives of
a junior paleontologist; a curious individual; a theme park developer; or
a paleo-artist. Dinosaurs researched are: Velociraptor, Protoceratops,
Allosaurus, Megalosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Gallimimus,
Tyrannosaurus rex, Maiasaur, Dimetrodon, Supersaurus, Oviraptor,
Giganotosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Utahraptor,
Deinonychus, Styracosaurus, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus,
Compysognathus, Saltopus, Brachiosaurus, and Edmontosaurus. The
student team has to come to a consensus to answer the big question.
There is series of seven lesson plans with literature and music
integrated. North Carolina Competency Goals for Second Grade stated.
This web quest was developed in 1998 so will have broken links.

Description:
Suitable for students in Years 3 - 4. Students are to be: a paleontologist,
a worker, a draftsman, and a photographer - all jobs described in
Digging Up Dinosaurs by Aliki. It would be a good idea to have read this
book first. Teacher will have prepared four clay models of dinosaur
teeth, using the "Dinosaur Teeth" website by EnchantedLearning as a
guide. The fossil models should be buried in boxes of dirt (or sand) that
are place around the room as separate stations. The paleontologist is to
determine what type of fossil the team has found and classify the
dinosaur into its appropriate family; the worker is to do the digging and
identify what the dinosaur ate; the draftsman is to record a drawing of
the fossil and determine the dinosaur's tooth length; and the
photographer is to record the fossil digitally and research special
features of the dinosaur fossil. As a group, they are to record their
findings and attach a photograph of their "find".

Description:
Designed for students in Year 2. Students are to get a Dino Show ready
for visitors, make a room display, present an oral report of interesting
facts to museum visitors, and create a brochure about their dinosaur as
well as make a hallway timeline and mural for the dinosaurs the class
study. Students will also contribute a dinosaur poem to a class book.
The Room Designer will create a diorama of their dinosaur's room. The
Tour Guide will prepare the tour comments for visitors and the Brochure
Writer will create a brochure to get people to visit the Dino Show.

Description:
Designed for Years 6-8 students, this webquest gives working groups
the responsibility of deciding which dinosaurs would suit a specified
park in Ozark Mountain area and then to do the research to defend their
decision. Students are required to take on a futuristic perspective in
which dinosaurs could be brought to the future and survive.

Description:
Designed for students in Years K - 2. Students have to research about
dinosaurs - the reading complexity of some linked sites is beyond these
year levels - a reading buddy will be required. Students have to write
their own "Dinosaur Discovery Book", make a scientific log, invent a
dinosaur of their own, draw a picture of it and write 3 facts about it.
Many activities are on other sites - could be problematic.

Description:
Students are asked to research and determine why there aren't many
bird fossils, why dinosaurs became extinct, what are the close relatives
of birds, and what they all have in common. As part of the process,
students must answer the question - Are birds and dinosaurs related?;
Determine bird ancestry by making chart with reasons; Check
Geological time and make a chart to trace lineage over seven groups
showing time of existence; Find out why there aren't that many bird
fossils; Find out how closely related the Archaeopteryx is to modern
birds using a comparison table; and Give some reasons why dionsaurs

Description:
Understanding the fossil record of the earth's past will allow students to
place dinosaurs and other ancient animals in proper perspective and will
help them understand the concepts of extinction and biological change.
This is an activity designed for year 6 students. Students are divided
into groups. Each group will plan a fossil exhibit for a museum,
consisting of Paleontologist, exhibit designer, public relations officer, and
tour guide. Along with designing a fossil exhibit from their research
students will design a power point presentation to show to the museum
board on their exhibit.

Description:
Students can experience a virtual dinosaur dig by looking at a movie
online and answering questions. Students may use this activity as an
introduction into dinosaurs and fossils, or as an activity to enhance and
underscore the information you have presented to them in class.
Need to have access to Acrobat Reader as there are PDF files. This
has limited higher order thinking skills.
