This is the 4-week (once per week) version of this class. There is also a CAMP (4 days in a row) version here: https://outschool.com/classes/camp-for-junior-paleontologists-creeping-climbing-swimming-flying-pIEK2H3i#us7ZOYiLMn In this course, students will learn through a variety of approaches, such as read aloud stories, informative slides and graphics, drawing, building and sculpting, movement activities, video clips, games, discussion, repetition and more. Students will investigate a...
Students will learn about the prehistoric era of dinosaurs and the awesome creatures that shared their world. Students will learn about what paleontologists do, and practice building their skills of observation as they look at pictures of fossils and scientific illustrations of the fascinating animals and insects of the Mesozoic Era. Students will be able to identify and share what they know about these examples of prehistoric life, and will observe and recreate them in hands-on activities. Students will learn and use new vocabulary words related to the topic as well as interesting new facts, and engage in guided discussion about their some of their favorite dinosaurs and their Mesozoic neighbors.
I'm so excited to share my love of dinosaurs with you! I've been teaching STEAM topics like dinosaurs to preschool through middle school for 8 years through an independent STEAM education company, and I'm really looking forward to connecting with new students here on Outschool. Not only will we be learning about dinosaurs, but we'll sneak in some colors, numbers and math, comparing and contrasting, observation, movement and more--all things that preK, kindergartners and 1st graders love to learn and practice!
Homework Offered
Extension activities will be assigned on a weekly basis, but will be optional. These assignments will be used as a way to reinforce lesson material and to allow students to explore the topics in greater detail based on their own interests. Research, drawing, and fact-finding will be incorporated into these assignments, which will be shared and discussed at the beginning of the next class.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
No formal assessment but teacher feedback is available upon request.Grades Offered
Students should provide their own paper, pencil, coloring supplies (crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc), playdough or sculpting clay, building blocks such as construction-type, LEGO-style bricks, DUPLO-style bricks, or wooden blocks. Other creative building blocks are also OK to substitute. Dinosaur toys or models are helpful but not required.
This class will discuss prehistoric creatures that could sometimes be brutal when hunting their food (the carnivores, anyway). All potentially sensitive content will be presented in a fun, lighthearted manner and will be completely age-appropriate. Regarding supplies/activities: Some projects may require cutting with scissors or other basic construction. Adult supervision or assistance may be required at the discretion of the parent, based on the individual student's capabilities and limitations. All STEM and creative projects will be age-appropriate in their nature and difficulty. Allergy Note: Playdough may contain wheat, which could cause an allergic reaction if ingested in those sensitive to wheat gluten or with Celiac disease. I am happy to provide a recipe for gluten-free playdough upon request, or suggest alternative supplies.
