Extinction in the Classroom
Extinction in the Classroom
Description:
Using images of evidence from the fossil record, students are asked to consider whether dinosaur biodiversity was stable, growing or diminishing at or near the end of the Cretaceous Period, and to identify those species that have successfully survived this 65 million-year-old mass extinction event. Students will also evaluate different theories explaining this last great mass extinction event, and have a chance to share and debate their insights with their peers. This resource is also available in French.
