Dinosaur Glossary
This is a great site for finding information on different dinosaurs. Once you find the dinosaur your looking for, it gives information on: how long it is, how tall it is, how to prounouce its name, and what type of diet it has. This site is great for kids. It explains information in a way children can understand.

It's a very interesting website for kids beginning their research on dinosaurs. This website has an excellent variety of information.

Least Effective Sites

Dinosaur Word Search
This website is ineffective because it only has one puzzle to choose from. After children play it once they probably would not want to play it again. It doesn't provide any information on the terms kids are searching for and therefore, it is not very informative.

Dino Fact
This website is very ineffective because the information on it is extremely brief. It answers simple questions but does not go into detail. It would be okay if you had absolutely no knowledge on dinosaurs, but most kids at least know the basics.

Dino Fact
This site is a great site to find out what dinosaurs roamed in your neighborhood however, it provides very little information on the dinosaurs. It only has a couple simple sentences, with no pictures, or color. I think it is important to have a bright, attractive website, to grab a child's attention.
