For this 4-week self-paced class, we will be discussing and learning about the dinosaurs from the Mesozoic Era. We will learn about different dinosaurs from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods. There will also be projects due at the end of each week. 

WEEK ONE: We will be learning about the life of the dinosaurs and the three periods of the Mesozoic Era. We will also be discussing Pangaea. The project for this week will be for learners to create their own dinosaur fossils. Learners will share their fossils on the classroom page. 

WEEK TWO: We will be learning about the Triassic Period dinosaurs. We will also share in discussion questions about different dinosaurs in the Triassic Period. The project for this week will be for learners to create a Triassic Period skeleton out of pasta or q-tips with a model dinosaur print-out.

WEEK THREE: We will be learning about the Jurassic Period dinosaurs. We will also share in discussion questions about different dinosaurs in the Jurassic Period. The project for this week will be for learners to create a Jurassic Period skeleton out of pasta or q-tips with a model dinosaur print-out.

WEEK FOUR: For the final week, we will be learning about the Cretaceous Period dinosaurs. We will also discuss about the mass extinction that wiped out all of the dinosaurs, and what your favorite dinosaur is out of all of the periods from the Mesozoic Era. We will be using NearPod to view 3D models of different dinosaurs. The final project will be for learners to paint or color a portrait of their favorite dinosaur.
