Science

Dinosaurs and More!

This term, Level 1 and 2 students will be completing a unit on dinasours. They will explore the external features of modern animals, and compare them with the skeletons of dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals. They will learn about the protective features of dinosaurs and use those ideas to design, make and appraise a ‘dino shield’.

At a glance, this unit will:

• Capture students’ interest and find out what they know about how living things have a variety of external features and live in different places where their needs are met.
• Provide students with hands-on, shared experiences of how animals have different types of teeth to eat different types of food.
• Introduce current scientific views about features of dinosaurs.
