You have our dinosaur for ONE week. You need to make the most of his visit! Here are some ideas of how to use him in your classroom:

2. The digital pictures can be imported into PowerPoint to create a slideshow for the students or you can project one picture of the dinosaur on your projector for class discussion or journal entries.

4. Use the digital pictures to have the students create a newsletter in Publisher on Prehistoric times, or on any topic listed in the journal topics above.
5. Use the dinosaur’s visit to study habitats of the dinosaurs, fossils, environmental changes on the earth, carnivores and herbivores, etc.
6. Create a dinosaur food chain or food web and use a picture of your dinosaur in the diagram.
7. Take digital footage of the dinosaur as he tours the building. Import into MovieMaker for a short movie about his trip.
8. Chart on a map where fossils of T-Rex dinosaurs have been found. Ask: How close was the nearest fossil? Where is the farthest fossil found from us?
