Students will learn paleontological facts and hypotheses about the following nine prehistoric predators: Tyrannosaurus, Spinosaurus, Cretoxyrhina, Carcharodontosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Giganotosaurus, Liopleurodon, Therizinosaurus, and Deinonychus. Students will learn basic facts such as length, weight, geographical location, prehistoric era, diet, and additional fun facts about each animal. Students will also learn specific characteristics that made each animal a predator during its time.
I have taught young students between the ages of 2 and 16 in an online environment since 2018. I love being able to positively influence my students all while having fun in class!
