Studying dinosaur fossils is a fantastic choice for middle and high school students because it brings together biology, geology, and history in an exciting way that captures the imagination. By examining these dinosaur fossils, these ancient remains, students learn how creatures lived and evolved millions of years ago, gaining insights into Earth’s changing climates and environments. This interdisciplinary topic of dinosaur fossils builds critical thinking, encourages scientific curiosity, and helps students develop an appreciation for the deep story of life on our planet. With this in mind, let’s engage with this excellent learning and teaching resource.

In this dinosaur fossils research project template (webquest) with questions to check comprehension and inspire scientific thinking. It gives a rich and supportive framework that can be tweaked as needed for students to support differentiation.
This dinosaur fossils research project template includes:
Space for a one paragraph summary (that links to the 2 page science article also available on this topic - but does not have to).
Students should produce a mathematical connection, an engineering / technology connection, 2 interesting facts / stats.
5 glossary terms they should fill in with their own words (which also links to the science article also available)
3 thought provoking questions (ie: critical thinking questions) they must answer.
Finally, each template has 3 alternative thought provoking questions for younger students and 3 other alternative harder questions to extend high flying or older students. Giving you a total of 9 possible thought provoking questions that could be used with students to enhance their research and critical thinking.
Further, I have added a 1 page - 20 point rubric to be used for either self-assessment or teacher assessment as you deem fit. I hope it helps support the learning even further!
The template is some of my best work and I am proud to share it with you.
