Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled: How do we know what dinosaurs really looked like?
by
by
Excellent non-fiction book. This book is so informative. I learned several new pieces of information reading this award winning book. Even though this is a picture book, I would definitely use it with upper elementary. It would be best used with at least fourth grade, but probably more appropriately suitable for fifth grade.
The vocabulary is excellent and advanced. This book would appeal to the scientists in your classroom.
I will be using Bloom's Taxonomy to assess learning after reading this book, instead of using the standard book report.
Remembering
Define: paleobotanists, paleoartist, and paleontologist.
Understanding:
Explain why scientist believe that dinosaurs did not drag their tails on the ground when they traveled.
Applying:
How is the Brontosaurus similar to the Apatosaurus?
Analyzing:
Conduct a survey of your classmates. Find out what their favorite dinosaur is. Graph the information, publish and display the graphs in the classroom.
Evaluating:
In your opinion what is the most effective resource/tool/technology scientist currently have available to them to draw conclusions about what the dinosaurs actually looked like?
Creating:
Using the information you learned from the scientist you read about in this book,construct a model of a dinosaur of your choice. The things science for sure can tell us have to be accurate details. The things we have yet to discover are open for your interpretation. When finished, write a one page paper about your dinosaur. Include the information you used to create your dinosaur that was scientific fact, and the information that you interpreted using your best scientific guess.
The content area cross-over would definitely be reading, language arts and science. The questions using Bloom's cross the curriculum from language arts to science. Also, some of the projects using Blooms to assess would be art projects. Of course, the study of dinosaurs is also a history lesson. (less)
