North Carolina Department of Education evaluators note that the program text is best suited for middle school students, but that younger students can easily use the visual and narrated areas of the program. This interactive learning adventure takes students inside a museum, where they learn about 50 different species of dinosaurs.
Students wander the halls of a virtual dinosaur gallery and explore exhibits and activities.
Clicking on exhibits leads to screens where information appears as text, narrated slides, videos, labeled diagrams, and animation. Students learn about dinosaur anatomy, movement, senses, feeding, and attack and defense skills. The World of the Dinosaurs section explores the development of dinosaurs during the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. Interactive maps show sites of continental drift and dinosaur finds. Video footage shows the excavation of a Tyrannosaurus Rex in Montana.
