Today we are going to learn about a topic that most of you love, Dinosaurs! Although we do not learn that much about them in class, if you become a biologist considerable time is spent learning all about them. We will be using a learning model called a webquest. In using this tool, you will work in groups of three to answer the question, What killed the dinosaurs? To solve this mystery, you must go on a quest, back in time to the Cretaceous Period. Be careful, hungry velociraptors may be around any corner! You will examine online resources to answer the ques-tion, What killed the dinosaurs?
