OBJECTIVES
Distinguishing the basic groups of animals.
Calssifying them by different features and characteristics.
Creating a timeline of the different eras and the most important
events.
Understanding the time measurements.
Understanding the evolution and the consequences of it.
Being critical about scientifical theories and using the scientifical
method to create a supported opinion.
Identifying physical features to classify animals by their diet
criteria.
Knowing the job of a paleontologist and understanding how they
study the past.

DINOSAURS DIET
Sometimes, when we are very lucky, we can learn
about dinosaurs' diets and lifestyles directly from
fossils.
•Some types of dinosaurs ate only meat
("carnivores")
•some ate only plants ("herbivores")
•And some ate both plants and meats
("omnivores").
Scientists have sometimes found fossilized dinosaur
bones, complete with fossilized stomach contents.
We know for example that Baryonyx was a fisheater, and that Coelophysis probably engaged in
cannibalism, because of the stomach contents that
have been found.
For example, the discovery of Triceratops which
seems to have survived from a Tyrannosaurus
rex attack, suggests that Tyrannosaurus rex must
have been actively hunting the animal, rather than
just scavenging

OTHER ANIMALS IN THE DINOSAUR WORLD
There´s a huge variety of animals that have lived with the dinos.
To classify the following animals into the groups below, write with your own words what´s each group:
BIRDS
FISH
REPTILES

MAMMAL
AMPHIBIANS

WHAT HAPPENED??
Dinosaur Extinction
Dinosaurs inhabited the earth for over 165 million years, during the Mesozoic Era.
Most dinosaur species lived and died out during this period, but at the end of the Cretaceous period (65 million years ago), all
remaining types of dinosaurs (with the exception of birds which had already evolved, and are widely believed to be descended from
dinosaurs) died out.
In fact, all animals weighing more than 55 pounds (25 kilograms) seem to have died out!
SCIENTISTS HAVE DIFFERENT HYPOTHESIS:
ASTEROID
IMPACT
Hypothesis: An asteriod
hit the earth.
Effect: Apart from the
fires and flooding, this
would have caused
catastrophic changes in
the environment
because of the dust
thrown up in to the air
blocking out sunlight.
EVIDENCE: There is a
large crater at Chixulub
in southern Mexico,
which appears to be of
the right age, and could
have been made as a
result of an asteroid
hitting the earth.
VOLCANISM SUPERNOVA
Hypothesis: Volcanoes
could have caused
catastrophic changes
in the environment.
Hypothesis: A
nearby star
exploded as a
supernova.
Effect: The dust from
volcanoes would have
affected the climate,
sulphur from
volcanoes could have
caused immensely
strong acid rain, and
poisonous substances.
Effect: A nearby
supernova would
have bathed the
earth in deadly
radiation.
EVIDENCE: we know
that volcanoes were
very active at about
this time.

EVIDENCE: This

extinction of marine
species, and some
may wonder

HISTORICAL SOURCES
-WHAT IS IT? It´s something that gives us information about the past.
-TYPES: oral sources (from spoken language), graphic sources (images, maps…), written sources
(books, letters…) and material sources (bones, tools…).
What types of sources are they?
POEMS
SAYINGS
SONGS
NEWSPAPERS
FURNITURE
TOOLS
What kind of sources do you think we
can use to know about the Jurassic time?
Fossils are preserved remains or traces of animals, plants and other organisms.
They are generally found in rocks.
When an animal or plant dies, its body can get buried into sand or mud.
Then, over ages (millions of years), the sand or mud gets compacted, and eventually turns to rock.
WHAT´S THE NAME OF THE PESON WHO DOES THIS FOR A LIVING?
Imagine how it´s their job like and what tools do they use…
