Comment on this resource
In this lesson, students learn the basics about dinosaur eggs and compare the life cycle of an animal hatched from an egg with one born from its mother's womb. They will create a dinosaur egg and use a map to locate countries where dinosaur eggs have been found. They may also list all the animals that are born from an egg and discuss how a newborn emerging from the womb of its mother is different from a hatchling emerging from an egg. There are suggestions for using various objects as props to explain the size and shape of dinosaur eggs. A downloadable, printable version (PDF) is included.
