Description

What is included in this Dinosaur Research Project?

Students will first learn how to use the text features in an informational text including the table of contents and index. They will also learn how to find credible sources on the internet. Then, students will be assigned a type of dinosaur to research(and optionally, a partner or group to work with). Students will have a Dinosaur Research Journal that they will use as a guide as they research the dinosaur in general as well as their assigned dinosaur. Editable sections have been added to the research journals so you may add your own questions!

Once students have completed their research, they will use it to complete two culminating activities: a report/presentation and a salt dough fossil of their dinosaur. Finally, other classes and parents will be invited to the “Dinosaur Fair” where your students can show off their dinosaur fossils.

Contents:

  • Teacher Info Pages: This includes a sample unit outline, grading rubric, lesson plans for internet research, intro lesson, research journals, and final projects.
  • Book research/ text features worksheets: Students will review other text features including a glossary, titles, headings, photos, captions, graphs/charts, and special print. They will also compare and contrast the table of contents and index.
  • Internet research worksheets: These worksheets will familiarize your students with how to find credible sources on the internet for research.
  • Dinosaur Cards Cards with the name and clip art of each type of dinosaur of water. You can use these to assign students a dinosaur to research.
  • Research Journals: The research journals will guide the students throughout their research. There is one question on each page for the students to find the answer to. 19 pre-written pages are included, plus 2 blank ones to add your own questions. Full-page and half-page versions are BOTH included in this resource. Choose which version is best for your students.
  • Salt Dough Fossil & Dinosaur Report Instructions Lesson plan for the student’s final project

    Rarrr! Be prepared to rearch awesome Dinos!!
    These units are designed to engage students and not just be printed work sheets. They are working, researching and getting their hands dirty at the same time! What I love most about the units, is the formats are all the same across themes. Your students become familiar with the structure and this makes the transitions so much easier.
    I love this website!!
    Thank you for all you do!

    Excellent research focused unit. This unit has everything to help get the students started with their research and work through the project. Having these in Google Slides format is perfect so my students can research and create on their computer both in school and at home without losing their work.

    Excellent research focused packet on dinosaurs. This packet has everything to help get the students started with their research and work through the project. I really like the choice cards to help divide up the topics easily and the two different size formats that are included in this print packet.

    It just was too much. I am sure that it could work for some teachers, but for the project I had in mind this was too much paper… I appreciate the effort put into this resource though. I could use it in pieces…
