Dino Might: Who Was the Strongest Dinosaur?
http://www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/School_Programs/dinos/dino_might.html
From DLESE Community Collection (DCC)
Comment on this resource
In this lesson, students will investigate the idea of strength in dinosaurs, and decide for themselves which was the strongest. Background materials point out the difficulty in determining the strength of a dinosaur from fossilized remains, and that size may not be a good measure of strength. The students will review the background material and other printed and online resources, then write an essay supporting their choices for the strongest (or most ferocious) dinosaur. A downloadable, printable version is included.
