Dinosaurs Around the World
Science · Dinosaurs & Paleontology · conceptual
Understand that different dinosaurs lived on different continents and that fossil discoveries around the world show dinosaurs were a global phenomenon, with some species found only in certain regions
What mastery looks like
- State that dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent including Antarctica
- Name at least one dinosaur discovery location (e.g. T. rex in North America, Velociraptor in Mongolia)
- Suggest a reason why the same type of dinosaur is sometimes found on continents now far apart
Check your understanding
If you showed Dinosaurs Around the World a world map, could they tell you that dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent — and maybe name a place where a famous dinosaur was discovered?
