Dinosaurs Part 2 Co-op Lesson

Get ready to journey deeper into the prehistoric world! In Dinosaurs Part 2, your co-op will explore some of the most fascinating creatures to ever roam the earth—armored defenders, bone-headed giants, fierce hunters, soaring reptiles, and massive sea swimmers. See Part 1 Here!
 
Students will discover incredible dinosaurs like the heavily armored Ankylosaurs, the dome-headed Pachycephalosaurus, the trumpet-crested Parasaurolophus, and powerful theropods like Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus rex. We’ll also expand beyond dinosaurs to explore ancient flying reptiles and massive marine reptiles that ruled the skies and seas. See the Video Walkthrough Here!

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.
 
Just as we surmise Adam was created a fully grown man and not a helpless newborn, perhaps the Earth itself was created with age built in. We’re not dogmatic about this idea by any means, but it presents an interesting thought.
 
We may include books and video links that reference Old Earth Theory, but find the information or footage in these valuable enough to include as we discuss the earth’s guesstimated age with our kids.
 
That said, one theme we harp on is that scientists never agree and there is always new information coming to light! We will do our best to keep this and all lessons as up to current research as possible, but it changes often!
 
Let's not let the enemy divide us. We believe the WHO of Creation, and leave the when and how up to discussion.
