恐竜の発見：巨大な草食動物

Hello, Prehistoric Scientists! In this self-paced class, we will explore the fascinating lives of huge herbivores! Please note that this is a self-paced class which is an asynchronous class that students will work through on their own and at their own pace. There are no live Zoom meetings.

Each lesson will cover facts about one dinosaur. For each animal, interactive class activities have been incorporated such as Pear Deck slides, jigsaw puzzles, and other games and printable activities.   

Following are the specific learning points we will cover in each class about each dinosaur or prehistoric animal:

1. Learn to identify each animal by picture.
2. Learn what the scientific name of the animal means (e.g., Argentinosaurus means "lizard from Argentina").
3. Identify if the animal is a carnivore or herbivore.
4. Learn the length of each animal and compare it to the length of a similar-sized object that we know of today (e.g., Iguanodon was 33 feet long, almost as long as a semi-truck!).
5. Learn the weight of each animal and compare it to the weight of a similar-sized object that we know of today (e.g., Iguanodon weighed 7,000 pounds, almost as much as a hippo!).
6. Identify how long ago the animal lived (e.g., Iguanodon lived 157 million years ago). 
7. Identify which continent the animal primaril y lived on (e.g., Cetiosaurus lived in Europe).

This class is geared towards a younger age group, and will likely need the help of an adult to go through the activities on the computer.
