Topic: Dinosaurs!
Grade: 1st
Introduction:
When Dinosaurs once roamed the earth they relied on many different
sources for food. Most dinosaurs were plant eaters, also called herbivores. Some dinosaurs were meat-eaters, also called
carnivores. You have been selected to become a Dino-detective. You will gather lots of information about
dinosaurs from searching different websites on the Internet. When you do your
research on the Internet, pay special attention to particular physical
characteristics such as size and shape of teeth that might give clues to what
type of food that dinosaur ate.
The Challenge:
With a partner you will brainstorm 6 dino meals for the dinosaurs listed
below. When you have finished
brainstorming you may create a poster categorizing the meals that an Herbivore
would eat, and the meals that a carnivore would eat.
Click on the dinosaur
names and figure out what kind of food they would eat:
