Learning Goals
Students will go back in time in order to increase their knowledge of the Mesozoic Era, when dinosaurs roamed our planet, while they draw their very own Dino-island Map. Learners should go away with an understanding of what a dinosaur actually is, what our planet looked like 65 million years ago, and what elements are needed to understand a map.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Roar! (which means hello in dinosaur of course).
Do your learners love dinosaurs as much as I do? Unlike most adults, I continued liking dinosaurs as I got older! I've been educating and entertaining children all about dinosaurs and prehistoric life since 2018 when I started my small business named Stomp Chomp Roar.
I offer courses all about prehistoric life from Paleozoic Era sea creatures, Mesozoic Era Dinosaurs, Cenozoic Era mammals and all the rock layers and fossils in between.
My ambition is to bring the excitement of prehistoric life and the study of paleontology to children in an educational and an entertaining way.
I enjoy grilling Jurassic steaks, reading about the past & working on new projects.
