Dinosaurs Around the World
Understand that different dinosaurs lived on different continents and that fossil discoveries around the world show dinosaurs were a global phenomenon, with some species found only in certain regions

Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Use fossil-location evidence to explain that dinosaurs lived across the world.
Ask for an example of one prerequisite idea; revisit if needed. Historical graph coverage does not establish this learner’s readiness.
Use the supplied discovery cards and continent labels; these are text evidence, not specimen photographs.
Use supplied stage sheets on screen or scrap paper; keep adult keys separate.
Use the fictional scenarios. Passing is allowed. Do not ask for private money amounts, account details, family conflict, identity or health information. Keep only minimal local learning notes.
Supplied data are explicitly practice data, not observations. Record only what is actually attempted; absent equipment, consent, partner or repeated observations means that part remains pending.
Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.
Teaching limits and safe use
These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.
Text-location exercise, not real world-map or specimen analysis; no species distribution inferred beyond supplied examples.

Check understanding
- State that dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent including Antarctica
- Name at least one dinosaur discovery location (e.g. T. rex in North America, Velociraptor in Mongolia)
- Suggest a reason why the same type of dinosaur is sometimes found on continents now far apart
“If you showed your child a world map, could they tell you that dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent — and maybe name a place where a famous dinosaur was discovered?”
