A Dinosaur for a Pet

New science techniques could allow you to have a dinosaur for a pet. You need to find out which dinosaur would make the best pet for you. You will be working in a group with one or two other children on this task but you will each make your own choice of dinosaur.

Task One

Choose six dinosaurs from the list. Write the names of your chosen dinosaurs on the summary sheet you have printed.

Task Two

Research each dinosaur using websites mentioned on the research page and other resources such as videos and books. Record the information on the summary sheet.

Task Three

Each of you should choose the dinosaur you would like for a pet.

Task Four

Report to the class on the dinosaur explaining why you chose this dinosaur and describing your chosen dinosaur and its needs. You could present this information in chart form or in a multi-media presentation using a programme like Powerpoint.

The idea for this webquest came from the NSW Country Areas Program On-Line Research Modules at http://www.cap.nsw.edu.au/bb_site_intro/stage1_Modules/research_mods_stage1.htm
