Recognize the difference between the sprawling legs of a typical reptile and the upright legs of some dinosaurs. Recognize and describe the wide variety and immense size of these creatures. Students draw full scale outlines of dinosaurs with chalk.
Students use comparative language to describe relative size.
Compare the teeth of carnivores and herbivores. Tell how scientists use fossils to learn more about dinosaurs. Print the pages the students choose. During outdoor recess on a blacktop or concrete area the students can measure and draw the dinosaur to full scale from the measurements on the pages you printed. Measure height and length to show students the boundaries of their full scale outline drawing before they start using the chalk.
