| LW0649 (Sci) | Knowledge | 2 | lcr | | Students read about the adaptations of a fictitious dinosaur, and then draw and colour in a picture of a dinosaur that illustrates these adaptations. | | | Keywords (ecology; dinosaurs; adaptation;) | | | Publication date (12/10/2001) |

| LW0522 (Sci) | Understanding about science | 3 | bcr | | Task: Students decide whether four dinosaurs are meat-eaters or plant-eaters, and justify their answers. A list of features of each group is provided. It may be completed individually or as a group assessment.
