The website I reviewed this week was in chapter 3 of the Leu book. The URL address is http://www.bbc.co.uk/dinosaurs. I chose this site because my Kindergartners are fascinated by dinosaurs. They play with them and bring them to sharing time on a repeat basis.
This website has information on the age of the dinosaurs, getting to know your ancestors, current and classic documentaries, games, quizzes, amazing creatures from the past, and links to the latest finds and theories. There are radio programs on mammoths, dinosaurs, evolution and other science topics. The link to a 3D dinosaur landscape is available. You can see the creatures that ruled the earth before the dinosaurs and download desktop wallpapers. I am going to put my Kindergartners on this site next week for a science activity.

Dixie,
Do your students have this fascination with dinosaurs because of a cultural influence or is it a lesson you are working on? I remember when I was about the age of your students and The Land Before Time came out, dinosaurs were all the rage. Do you remember having any connections like this?
Dbowen,
Our class hopes to visit the site in Thermopolis on dinosaurs. So this is a definite site that I would like to share with the students that will be going there.
The site sounds great. i have some students who are really into dinosaurs and I have been wanting to a side unit on them as I have an abundance of dinosaur books and stuff from my son who was into dinosaurs and still enjoys them. Thanks for the site.
