  1. Digging up Dino’s! Jennifer and Marisa

  2. Welcome to our class dig! Dinosaurs and Uncovering: * Description: Students will perform activities to learn about where dinosaurs lived and how we know where they lived (fossils) and what a paleontologist does, what tools they use to uncover dinosaurs. * Grade Level: K-2 * Curriculum: Science * Keywords: Dinosaur, fossil, paleontologist Author(s): Marisa Militano and Jennifer Lemon

  3. Process: • Each group member will have a task. • Data Collector: The Data Collector will write down and collect all information found during the project. This member will also be in charge of the “Pick” during the dig. • Investigator: This group member will be in charge of locating information and data. This member will be in charge of the “Spade” during the dig • Dig Supervisor: Is in charge of identifying the dinosaur and finding out when and where the dinosaur lived, as well as its size, and diet. This member will be in charge of the “Brush” during the dig. • Groups: • Group 1: Alberta • Group 2: Montana • Group 3: Wyoming • Group 4: Niger • Group 5: Mongolia

  4. Process: • 1: What is a dinosaur? • 2. When did they live? • 3. Where did they live and how did we know? • 4. Go on a dig! • 5. What is a paleontologist and what do they do? • 6. What tools do they use and why? • 7. Dig up the dinosaur in your group’s assigned area • 8. Put together the dinosaur your group found. • 7. What dinosaur did you dig up? Tell us about it?

  5. Introduction:Alberta Rex needs your help! You will be traveling to a location around the world and digging up dinosaur fossils hidden in the ground.
