Extinct Animals

As a class we gathered ideas about what we wanted to inquiry about.  Some of our ideas were starfish, dinosaurs, sharks, animals that live in the Safari, butterflies, cheetahs, sabre-tooth tigers, leopards, animals that live in the sea, and fabric.

We took a vote and decided to ask questions about dinosaurs and other animals that are extinct. Here are a few pictures of our first day exploring extinct animals.

Here we are etching dinosaurs.  We made T-Rex, Teradactyl, and Stegosaurs pictures. 

Here we are working in our story inquiry station.  We we reading about what dinosaurs eat.  We were also writing a story to share with our class.

In this inquiry station we were using skeleton models and a skull to build our own dinosaur skeletons our of pipe cleaners. 

Here we are drawing dinosaur habitats and stamping dinosaurs into our pictures.

Look at this T-Rex!

This was a very difficult inquiry station.  We were putting together dinosaur puzzles.  Some puzzles didn't have pictures to help us. Here we were trying to put the legs on our dinosaur.
