Where Dinosaurs Meet Design Thinking

Skeleton figures, modeling clay, and environment pictures bring paleontology to life. Students investigate fossils like real scientists and design adaptive survival devices using engineering principles.
Dinosaur Etymology

Dinosaur Etymology

Students learn Greek and Latin root words to create scientifically accurate dinosaur names, connecting language arts to paleontology in a way that builds vocabulary and scientific naming conventions

Fossil Identification

Fossil Identification

Using dinosaur skeleton figures and environment pictures, students classify fossils by type and match them to geological periods, building observation and classification skills

Area and Perimeter Math

Area and Perimeter Math

Students calculate the dimensions of excavation sites using real-world measurement scenarios that connect geometry to fieldwork

Adaptive Survival Design

Adaptive Survival Design

Students use building blocks, straws, and modeling clay to engineer devices that help organisms survive environmental challenges, applying the engineering design process to biological concepts

What Students Will Do

Students work through activities that connect language arts, mathematics, and engineering to the science of paleontology.
  • Create scientifically accurate dinosaur names using etymology
  • Classify and identify fossils using observation skills
  • Calculate area and perimeter for excavation site planning
  • Design adaptive survival devices using building materials
  • Connect geological periods to fossil evidence
  • Collaborate in teams to solve cross-curricular challenges

Four Activities That Bring Paleontology to Life

Activity 1: Dinosaur Naming—Students learn Greek and Latin roots to construct scientifically accurate dinosaur names. Teams combine root words to describe physical traits and behaviors, then present their creations.

Activity 2: Fossil Identification—Using skeleton figures and environment pictures, students classify fossils by type, match them to geological periods, and record observations like field paleontologists.

Activity 3: Excavation Site Math—Students calculate area and perimeter for excavation site planning, applying geometry skills to real-world paleontology scenarios.

Activity 4: Adaptive Survival Design—Teams use building blocks, straws, and clay to engineer devices that help organisms survive environmental challenges, applying the engineering design process.

Cross-Curricular Science Exploration

The Paleontology Grades 3-4 Activity Bundle connects earth science to language arts, mathematics, and engineering design. Students develop observation, classification, and creative problem-solving skills through activities grounded in real paleontology practices.

Science—Fossil classification, geological periods, adaptation, survival

Technology—Scientific observation tools, data recording

Engineering—Design process, prototyping, adaptive solutions

Math—Area, perimeter, measurement, spatial reasoning

ELA—Etymology, root words, scientific naming, presentations

Frequently Asked Questions

How many students does this bundle serve?

The Paleontology Grades 3-4 Activity Bundle includes materials for ten to twelve students working collaboratively across four activities.

What subjects does this bundle cover?

Paleontology is the anchor, but activities integrate language arts (etymology and naming), mathematics (area and perimeter), and engineering (adaptive design) for true cross-curricular learning.

Do students need any technology?

No. All activities use physical materials; skeleton figures, clay, building blocks, and environment pictures. No devices or Internet required.

What additional materials do I need?

Clipboards and coloring supplies, which are commonly available in elementary classrooms.

How long does each activity take?

Each activity is designed to fit within a single class period, with extension options for deeper exploration.

Can this pair with other Activity Bundles?

Yes. The Geology (92879) and Ecology (92880) bundles complement paleontology topics well, and all share the same grade band and student count.
