Comment on this resource
This Classroom Connectors lesson plan for kindergarten students discusses prehistoric animals. It will teach students to identify different types of dinosaurs, including names and characteristics. The site provides goals, objectives, an outline, time required, materials, activities, and closure ideas for the lesson. The Classroom Connectors address content with an activity approach while incorporating themes necessary to raise the activity to a higher cognition level. The major motivation is to employ instructional strategies that bring the students physically and mentally into touch with the science they are studying.
