One of our favorite second grade learning units is D-I-N-O-S-A-U-R-S! This multi-discipline unit is fabulous for building vocabulary, background knowledge, math skills, science concepts, and nonfiction writing techniques. I'll add examples as the lessons unfold.

| We made imprint fossils using red clay. Students selected either plastic dinosaurs or real shells for their fossils. |
 |
| We will let them dry for a few days and fire them in the kiln. This step isn't necessary, but it makes the fossils harder and stronger. Hopefully they'll last 60 million years or so. Ha! |

| These imprint fossils will be a nice addition to the Science and Art Fair in a couple of weeks. |
