Lessons-A

The teacher will discuss with students why Argentina, particularly Patagonia, is a good site for dinosaur research. A land bridge connected North and South America in the beginning of the Cretaceous period about 144 million years ago. When it disappeared later in the Cretaceous period, dinosaurs on the two separate continents evolved in unique ways. We learn about these dinosaurs by looking at footprints and fossils. Each student will then be given a slab of clay. the student will take off their shoe and and make an imprint of their foot. Each student will have made their own footprint just like the dinosaur footprints we find in Argentina.
