Those Fussy Dinosaurs!
This lesson introduces students to the idea that animals prefer certain types of habitats over others and, in fact, cannot live in places that are too different from what they prefer. In this case they will focus on dinosaurs. They will learn about the types of habitats and climates scientists believe dinosaurs tended to prefer and will conclude by drawing background scenes to use in a toy dinosaur home.
