Plant-Eaters vs Meat-Eaters
Science · Dinosaurs & Paleontology · conceptual
Sort dinosaurs into plant-eaters (herbivores) and meat-eaters (carnivores) by looking at clues like tooth shape — flat teeth for plants, sharp teeth for meat
What mastery looks like
- Sort a set of dinosaur pictures or models into herbivore and carnivore groups
- Explain that sharp pointed teeth are for tearing meat and flat teeth are for grinding plants
- Give an example of one herbivore and one carnivore dinosaur
Check your understanding
If you showed Plant-Eaters vs Meat-Eaters a picture of a dinosaur's teeth, could they guess whether it ate plants or meat?
