Pre Historic Animal Project

Students will need to protray a project over a pre-historic animal of their choosing.  We will be in the computer lab tomorrow in order to give the students an opportunity to research their choosen animal. 
The students will need to answer through their final project the following information regarding their pre-historic animal:

The name of the animal.

What fossil evidence is there is that the animal ever existed?

In what approximate time period did the animal live, and when did it become extinct?

What was the environment like at the time the animal lived?

What type of plants existed at the same time the animal did?

Today we watched a video that described the dinosaurs that roamed North America.  We looked at the species and the climates that dominated pre-historic time.  The students were to complete a quiz as they watched the video.

Today we looked at fossils and put them in a geologic timeline.  We discussed the reasoning why some would be placed before or after others.
