Dinosaurs are DINOmite!
The second grade has started learning about living and nonliving things down in KIDLAB. What better way to tie things together by talking about the awesome, the incredible, (the extinct) dinosaurs!
The second grade began this unit by looking at different structures of dinosaurs (horns, tails, long necks, etc) and mixing and matching dinosaur parts to create something entirely new. Next, students designed a habitat that would meet all of the dinosaur's needs (food, air, water, shelter, space). We then looked specifically on what dino skin looked and felt like and learned how to make similar colors and textures by blending crayons. When we put it all together, we created some pretty awesome dinosaur landscapes- check them out below!
