This site explains how dinosaurs evolved and what happened to them throughout the years through a detailed time line. Environment, Anatomy, Behavior, and Physiology of dinosaurs is viewed on the time line grid.
Have you ever wondered why dinosaurs died out? or how dinosaurs lived? Well this is a great site to answer those questions and many more. You can find out information about how dinosaurs evolved or else go into the dinobase and find out about every dinosaur. This is a great site to help with the teaching of this topic.
This site is broken down into a bunch of questions about dinosaurs from What is the biggest/smallest known dinosaur? to How many types of dinosaurs are known? It's a perfect site to help when a student asks a specific question.
This site offers a little information about the life before dinosaurs existed and when they ruled the lands. It also includes descriptions of the most common dinosaurs.
Information about the types of dinosaurs is found on this page. Each link to a dinosaur is described and a quiz is presented at the end of the section to see how much you learned. There is also a hangman game using dinosaur names.
This site offers dinosaur kits that can be purchased. These kits allow you and your students to create a model of a dinosaur. The kits are quite expensive but it could be a fun activity to do inside the classroom.
Dinosaur coloring sheets can be found on this page that can be used inside a classroom. Other activities can be found on this page such as dinosaur graph, where you have the students graph the heights of the dinosaurs and compare them and a dinosaur crossword puzzle along with much more.
Another site with coloring sheets of dinosaurs. These pages can be printed off and photo copied so that every student can color one. Other activities such as connect the dots and mazes can also be printed off and used in the classroom.
Lots of activities to incorporate with the dinosaur lesson are found on this page. The activities range from songs to measuring dinosaurs to making fossils. These are perfect to incorporate into the lesson on dinosaurs.
There are 15 things that students can do at this site. All of them are games about dinosaurs that can be played using a computer. Students will enjoy everything about these games especially if they are learning about dinosaurs at the time.
Here is a page where I critique the 3 best and the 3 worst links that I have provided on this site.
