HELLO Students!!!!!!!I need your help! I am putting together a

Dinosaur Museum and I am in need of some paleontologists. It is up to you to work as a team to research a different

dinosaur and present a poster that will be put in my Dinosaur Museum.

Process In each group, you will be assigned a

dinosaur. You will be in groups of four. Within each group you will all have a specific dinosaur to research.

Each of you will become a paleontologist and research all the facts about your dinosaur.

You will then create a poster that will be hung in our classroom Dinosaur Museum.

When you complete your poster your group will present your dinosaur.

What Paleontologist Are You???

Paleontologist #1 records the

information onto the poster.

Paleontologists # 4 is the speaker. They

will present the poster in the

Museum.

Paleontologist # 2 finds all the pictures that will be put on

the poster.

Paleontologist # 3 designs the poster

and adds any illustrations needed.

This is the official Paleontologist member

badge. This is what you will wear on your shirt to show

you are a working Paleontologist.

Answer the following questions??

1. What kind of diet does your Dinosaur have?

2. If you were a Dinosaur what would you want to eat and why?

3. What does your Dinosaur look like? 4. Do you think that living the daily life of a

Dinosaur would be difficult? Why or why not? 5. What type of habitat does your Dinosaur

live in? 6. What would the world be like today if we

had Dinosaurs?

How Do We Find The Answers?

To research your questions travel to each of these websites to find information about your

dinosaur.
