Dinosaur Webquests



Grade 1/2 Webquests
 
1.  I have to leave on a trip and I need someone to look after my pet dinosaurs. I've put each dinosaur in its own cage for safe keeping, but they will need a home very soon. They would be happier in their own habitat so I need you to design a Dinosaur Zoo for them.
http://olc.spsd.sk.ca/DE/webquests/dino/dinowq.htm#time  Has a wonderful group of follow up activities here and a Teacher Resource here

2.  Gather info about dinosaurs, fill out a matrix, and then answer questions that use the data in the matrix.

4.  A great little Quest - spoken instruction for the very young.
You've heard about dinosaurs, but do you know all about them? What are some of their names? How Big are they? What do they eat?

5.  Throughout this term you have been researching dinosaurs. You have gathered information about what they looked like, where they lived and what they ate. I would like you and your small team of detectives to solve the mystery of what happened to the Dinosaurs?
