How Should I Use This Site?
The possibilities of Dinosaur Expedition are limited only by your imagination. The site is designed to be flexible to your needs. You may do a single lesson or stretch a project through the semester. Science teachers might focus of geology, life over time, evolution, desert adaptations, dinosaurs, or diversity. Social Studies classes might gear their project to geography, culture, issues surrounding colonization and post-colonial politics. A Language Arts classroom might focus on themes such as journeys, travel, deserts, and linguistics. Math classes might utilize the enclosed information to write word problems, create maps and graphs, or conduct estimate and probabilities.

This site offers:
