special helper! Click the button that says Buttons to learn about
the buttons you will use in this dinosaur adventure.
Overview This interactive game is designed for first and second
grade students who have prior experience in learning about
dinosaurs. Learning about dinosaurs is important because it is a
fun element to incorporate in early science classes. Dinosaurs were
huge and fascinating animals. The fact that they no longer exist
makes them an interesting and fun phenomenon to learn about. Your
students will never be disinterested!
Slide 6
Target Audience The target audience for this program is 1 st
and 2 nd graders. The program cannot take hours to complete. 1 st
and 2 nd graders are capable of staying interested in a topic for
approximately 30 minutes. Reading may or may not be an issue since
they had just started learning how to read. Regardless, the
language used in this program is fairly simple. This program
contains many pictures so that the students stay focused on whats
in front of them. This program is easily navigable. The topic being
discussed meets Indiana academic standard SCI 1.3 2010-Observe,
describe and ask questions about living things and the relationship
to their environment.
Slide 7
Goals The primary goal for this lesson plan is to successfully
assess students and their abilities to match dinosaur names and
characteristics with the corresponding pictures.
Slide 8
Learning Objectives The leaner will be able to match dinosaur
names and characteristics with the corresponding picture. The
learner will score at least an 8/10 on the learning
assessment.
Slide 9
Motivation Terry the Pterodactyl is a motivational character in
the program. His purpose is to foster encouragement among the
students. Whenever the student chooses the correct answer on the
practice game and the assessment, Terry will praise them with one
of his talk bubbles. He will uses phrases such as Good Job! or Nice
Work! When a student chooses the wrong answer, Terry still gives
phrases of encouragement such as Thats Okay! Try Again! Terry will
also come with his own button on the bottom of the screen to give
helpful hints during the practice game and as a guide on how to use
buttons.
Slide 10
Orientation One of the primary functions of this lesson plan is
to build a better understanding of dinosaurs. Students come into
first and second grades already knowing some basic information
about them. Some may know more than others. Students know that
dinosaurs are big and extinct. They may even have an idea of what
they look like based on movies such as The Land Before Time. They
may also know what the dinosaur eats or where they live. This
lesson will build upon this prior knowledge and extend it into a
more comprehensive understanding of dinosaurs.
Slide 11
Information The types of information included in this program
are: distinguishing between whether the dinosaur is an herbivore or
a carnivore. Being able to tell where the dinosaur lived What time
period the dinosaur existed (just eras, not years) Unique
characteristics about each dinosaur to help better distinguish them
from one another
Slide 12
Application This lesson plan will help the students in their
future lessons by being an introduction to biology and nature
science. They will continue to learn about different animals in the
future and will be able to use the knowledge they obtain from this
lesson to determine the characteristics of other animals.
Slide 13
Evaluation The evaluation will be administered through a 20
question assessment at the end of lesson. The first 10 question
will be matching the dinosaur name to the characteristics. The next
10 will be focused on each individual dinosaur or vocabulary. This
will ensure that the students can independently decide and
understand the characteristics of each dinosaur without the help of
matching.
