The Mesozoic Era
Science · Dinosaurs & Paleontology · conceptual
Place the three periods of the Mesozoic Era — Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous — in order and understand that different dinosaurs lived in different periods, not all at the same time
What mastery looks like
- List Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous in the correct chronological order
- Assign at least one well-known dinosaur to the correct period
- Explain that millions of years separated these periods and different species lived in each
Check your understanding
Does The Mesozoic Era know that T. rex and Stegosaurus didn't actually live at the same time — and can they name the three dinosaur time periods in order?
