Wikijunior Dinosaurs (free online textbook)
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikijunior_Dinosaurs Wikijunior Dinosaurs From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection When working on this project, remember that it's aimed at children. It's more important to be understood than to be precisely accurate on every detail. Use technical vocabulary when you need to, but don't use big words where simpler language would work. Whenever you have to use a word, list it in the glossary of basic terms, and define it. Either that, or note it needs to be defined in the glossary page. Giving definitions when such words are used is generally a good idea as well. Online | textbook | free | |

Dinosaurs Virtual Field Trip
http://www.tramline.com/sci/dino/index.htm Dinosaurs Virtual Field Trip Dinosaurs: A Prehistoric Adventure for Grades 1-3 By Theresa Hughes-Feletar Dinosaurs are a constant amazement to children of all ages. The mystery of dinosaurs is what encourages us to know more about them and learn about their amazing existence and their extinction, and therefore makes them an interesting and exciting topic on which to base learning across all areas of the curriculum. |

CyberHunt Library - Digging for Dinosaurs
http://teacher.scholastic.com/products/instructor/dinosaurs_teacher.htm CyberHunt Library - Digging for Dinosaurs Take a cyberjourney back to the Mesozoic Era and learn fascinating facts about the dinosaurs that populated the Earth for many millions of years. Dinosaurs were just one of several kinds of prehistoric reptiles that lived during the Age of Reptiles. The largest dinosaurs, such as the Seismosaurus, were over 100-feet long and up to 50-feet tall. The smallest was no larger than a chicken! Most dinosaurs were somewhere in between. Start with the CyberHunt Reproducible page, found at www.scholastic.com/cyberhuntkids |

Dinosaur Hunt
http://www.adders.org/freeware/dinohunt.html As well as making games and screen savers, I am also an amateur palaeontologist and you can view my fossil section online by clicking here. I have always been particularly fascinated by the dinosaurs, so I have produced my own interpretation of what 20 of this vast species may have looked like. These images can be seen in the Reference Section of the game along with some details about each one and a photograph of an actual fossil from that species of dinosaur. The game involves searching photographs of locations around the world for dinosaur remains and then correctly identifying your finds. Please note that all my (Grey Olltwit) programs are full versions, do not require registering and are completely free. I don't make commercial or shareware programs. |

Dinosaurs - Virtual Field Trip
http://www.field-trips.org/sci/dino/index.htm A field trip created with TourMaker guides you through a sequence of Web pages on any given topic. For each page, there is simultaneous commentary in an accompanying frame. You move forward and back through the Field Trip using the tour Control Panel and you can leave the Tour to explore links and return to it whenever you want. Dinosaurs are a constant amazement to children of all ages. The mystery of dinosaurs is what encourages us to know more about them and learn about their amazing existence and their extinction, and therefore makes them an interesting and exciting topic on which to base learning across all areas of the curriculum. Their varying sizes and shapes enables us to use them to learn about numbers and attributes for a mathematical perspective. This module contains web sites which demonstrate scientific fact about the life and extinction of dinosaurs. As some of the sites are animated and interactive, it provides excellent opportunity for the students to be active participants in their search for knowledge about dinosaurs. |

Dinosaurs : 4 2 Explore
http://eduscapes.com/42explore/dinos.htm This web project provides "four to explore" for each topic. On each page you'll find definitions, activities, 4 good starting points, and many more links and resources for the thematic topic. In some cases, we've listed more than four websites on a particular topic. For example, we might provide a few for younger readers and others for more advanced learners. Each school, classroom, and teacher is unique. As such we didn't try to provide specific activities for particular grade levels. Instead we suggest that teachers explore each link, then design specific, developmentally appropriate activities such as discussion questions, small group activities, or webquests to fit the needs of their curriculum. The links on this site are safe for children. Dinosaurs |

Fossils
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/conker/fossils/ Fossil collecting is a brilliant hobby for kids and adults - for a start you are collecting things which are millions of years old. You can't collect dinosaurs very easily - but you can collect fossils of creatures which lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. |

Making Your Own Fossil Prints
http://www.eecs.umich.edu/mathscience/funexperiments/quickndirty/fossilprint.html What you are doing is very much like the way real fossil prints were created. A long time ago, plants, bugs, or animals left impressions in soft mud, which dried out and eventually became rock. Much of what we know about ancient, extinct plants and animals comes from such prints. For example, that is how we know what the texture of dinosaur skin was, and how we are still tracking down the evolution of birds—since neither skin nor feathers are likely to survive as actual fossils, the way bones do. |
