Lead your group of budding paleontologists on a prehistoric journey! This lesson takes a look at how we know what we know about dinosaurs, what IS a dinosaur, the smallest and the biggest dinosaurs, and we learn about Sauropods and Ceratopsians (focusing on Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, Protoceratops, and Triceratops). 
 
Included are two scripts--one that is a regular open and go script and one for the more theatrically-inclined teachers that has "Dinosaur Personalities!" With cues on accents and personality types, meet Dippy Diplodocus, a southern Brachiosaurus, and Trixie Triceratops! 
 
The Teacher Guide provides instruction on how to run the lesson, a PE Game, Booklist for read alouds, a fun Design-a-Dino craft, and Nature Journal prompts.
 
Perfect for ages 4-11 and enjoyable for all ages! 
 
(And don't worry, Dinosaurs Part 2 will cover Armored Dinosaurs like Stegosaurus and Ankylosaurus, Therapods like Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus Rex, and ancient flying and swimming reptiles (which are not dinosaurs but still fun to learn about!

A word on the Earth's Age:
At Abiding Wild, we believe without a shadow of a doubt that God created ALL things. Humans were specifically created in His image (Gen 1:26), and He has put all things under our dominion (Gen 1:28).
 
When it comes to timelines of the earth, we recognize that the only One who can truly know the timelines of the Earth is the Creator Himself. As debates continue amongst Old Earth and Young Earth Creationists, we have decided to leave dates out of our lessons so parents can present theories to their kids at their own discretion.
 
Let's not let the enemy divide us on a non-salvation issue. We believe the WHO of Creation, and leave the when and how up to discussion.
