INTRODUCTION
You will learn about one dinosaur and the time period in which it lived. You will then work together with the other members of your class to design a Dinosaur Zoo.

THE PROCESS
1. Learn about the time of the dinosaurs.
a. Where in time did the dinosaurs live? 
Look at the picture of the staircase below. Each step shows millions of years in the age of the earth.

Dinosaurs lived 245 million years ago, where the green stair steps begin. The Age of Dinosaurs, the Mesozoic era, lasted for three green stair steps or for 185 million years. At the end of the Cretaceous period, 65 million years ago, dinosaurs suddenly died out and became extinct.

b. We learn about dinosaurs by digging up their bones. Click below to watch a clip about dinosaur fossils. Then use your Back button on your web browser to return to your webquest.
