Here is a collection of excellent dinosaur sites.
WEB WONDERS--compiled by Karen Rasmussen
(krasmuss@ascd.org)
What is it about dinosaurs that captures the
imaginations of almost every child and many adults?
Maybe it's hard to believe that such fantastic
creatures ever roamed the earth. Here are some sites
that are to sure to fuel your interest in these
fascinating creatures. October was the first annual
International Dinosaur month; we're belatedly
celebrating the dinos.
Dino-mania
http://squire.cmi.k12.il.us/hcs/dinosaur/index.html
Mrs. Tate's 4th grade class at Holy Cross School in
Illinois researched dinosaurs and wrote their own
dinosaur songs and poems. An example: "Archaeopteryx is
his name, / Eatin' every bug is his game, / He flies
high in the sky, / Eatin' every bug passing by. /
Archaeopteryx kills his prey, / Then he eats it the
very same day. / Archaeopteryx had all feathers, / So
he could fly through all kinds of weathers." Catchy,
and I'll bet you learned something, too! You can also
view the class's dioramas.
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/features/96/dinoeggs/index.html
Did you know that dinosaur eggs and nests have been
discovered at 199 sites around the world, primarily in
China, Mongolia, Argentina, India, and the Great Plains
of North America? This site allows you to learn about
how these eggs are studied, including how they are
found, the methods scientists use to discover the
fossilized embryo in each egg, and to view an artist's
model of what the embryos would have looked like. Very
cool!

"Scietia, Sapientia, Joci Ridiculi" ("Science, Wisdom,
Silly Jokes") is the motto of this site. Here you'll
find the latest news in the world of dinosaurs and
paleontology, lists of movies about dinosaurs, and a
chat room. Has a good list of links and indicates the
ones that are especially good for K-6.
Discovery Room Online
http://www.clpgh.org/cmnh/discovery/main.html
Brought to you by the Carnegie Museum of Natural
History in Pittsburgh, here you can find answers to
commonly asked questions about dinosaurs and learn why
scientists gave dinosaurs long and complicated names,
such as Corythosaurus. Also includes information on
how to pronounce these names (kor-ith-a-SORE-us).
The Flintstones
http://www.powerup.com.au/~ves/flint.htm
Forget Barney. Everyone's real favorite dinosaur is
Dino from this animated series. Find out if Dino ever
spoke in any of the shows and download his picture. You
can also learn about the rest of the show's characters
and their home in Bedrock.
