3 Thank you for choosing to participate in an ATCO Tyrrell Distance Learning program! The following guide contains information about your program, as well as, accompanying activities that can be used in your classroom. The description of your program is as follows: PIQ: Test Your Palaeo Intelligence Grades K-3 Think your students have what it takes? Test their knowledge of dinosaurs and palaeontology! Working in teams, this program is 45 minutes of fun as they are led through a series of six interactive games and challenges in their efforts to escape a deadly volcano. PIQ makes an excellent start or finish to any unit related to palaeontology, or anytime young students want to learn about ancient life and have an absolute blast doing so! ALBERTA CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS Kindergarten Environment and Community Awareness Grade 1 Science: Seasonal Changes; Needs of Animals and Plants Grade 2 Science: Small Crawling and Flying Animals Grade 3 Science: Rocks and Minerals; Animal Life Cycles
4 PROGRAM OUTLINE What is Palaeontology? o The study of the fossilized remains of plants and animals, or their activities. o Fossils are the traces or remains of ancient life. Round 1: Critter Count o Description: Students must count the critters crossing the screen that are a specific colour: red, yellow, green or blue. o Knowledge Shared: Not all prehistoric reptiles were dinosaurs. All dinosaurs were terrestrial, while reptiles living in the sea are called marine reptiles, and those that flew are called flying reptiles. Round 2: Name that Dinosaur o Description: Students are shown drawings of a few features from a dinosaur, and must attempt to identify it. o Knowledge Shared: Dinosaurs are often named after their physical features, assumed behaviour, people, or places. Triceratops means three horn face, derived from the three horns on its face. Stegosaurus means roofed lizard, referring to the plates on its back. Brachiosaurus means armed lizard, a reference to its long front limbs. Tyrannosaurus rex means tyrant lizard king, in reference to its large size compared to other meat-eating dinosaurs. Raptors get their name from their resemblance to modern birds of prey. Parasaurolophus means similar crested lizard, as it is related to the dinosaur Saurolophus, which is another type of crested dinosaur. Round 3: True or False o Description: Students are challenged with a series of true or false questions, that cover various misconceptions about palaeontology o Knowledge Shared: Humans and dinosaurs never coexisted. Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago and the first members of the genus Homo don t appear in the fossil record until 2.5 million years ago. Sharks have been around for 400 million years Sharks look much the same today as they did back then. Long-necked dinosaurs lived on land, not in the water Scientists previously thought long-necked dinosaurs would have had to live in the water to support their massive weight, but further research
5 has proven that they were perfectly capable of supporting their weight on land. Palaeontologists study all ancient life, not just dinosaurs. Palaeontologists study ancient invertebrates, mammals, fish, plants, reptiles and anything that has been fossilized on earth. The smallest dinosaurs were the size of chickens. Compsognathus was about the size of a chicken. There have been recent discoveries of even smaller dinosaurs such as Microraptor, but there is speculation that the specimen may be a juvenile. Dinosaur fossils are found all over the world, not just in the badlands. Dinosaur fossils can be found wherever there is exposure of rock layers from the age of the dinosaurs. The badlands are the best example of this exposure, but not the only one. Round 4: Fossil Frenzy o Description: Students attempt to identify fossils shown to them using a high-powered camera. o Knowledge Shared: Albertosaurus tooth Equipped with serrations on both sides to help it rip through flesh and bone. Euoplocephalus tail club Was like a giant sledgehammer for fending off predators, and potentially protecting its territory. Fern leaf Much the same as ferns that live today. Would have been very abundant during the Age of Dinosaurs. Dromaeosaurus claw Huge, sharp talon that was sheathed in keratin (the same sort of material human fingernails are made of). Hadrosaur toe bone Would have looked similar to modern horse s hoof. Ammonite shell These are often found in Alberta and Saskatchewan, as these areas were covered by the an inland sea (the Bearpaw Sea) during the Cretaceous Period. Round 5: What s for Lunch? o Description: Students are introduced to an ancient animal, and then must decide what that animal would like for lunch. Mosasaurs were marine reptiles that look similar to alligators or crocodiles, but are more closely related to snakes. Mononychus was a small feathered dinosaur that fed mostly on insects. Ammonites were ancient shelled relatives of squid and octopus that ate crustaceans and many other sea creatures. Triceratops was a herbivorous dinosaur that fed mostly on cycad plants.
6 Sabre-tooth cats were Cenozoic mammals that would have eaten a variety of prey, including mammoths. Didelphodon was a cat-sized mammal, but one of the largest that lived during the Cretaceous Period.
7 PALAEO TRUE OR FALSE Recommended for Grades K through 3 Help dispel some myths and misconceptions about palaeontology through some challenging true and false questions! 1. Assign one wall of the room as the true side, and the opposite wall the false side. 2. Read each statement aloud to your students. If they think the answer to the question is true, they must run over and touch the true wall. And if they think the answer is false, they must run over and touch the false wall. 3. After everyone has run and chosen a wall, give them the answer including the response, and then have them come back to the middle for the next. Number Colour Description T. rex and Stegosaurus lived at the same time. All dinosaurs laid eggs. Humans hunted woolly mammoths. There has only been one Ice Age. FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE T. rex lived in the Cretaceous Period, millions of years after Stegosaurus lived in the Jurassic Period. All dinosaurs were reptiles, and all reptiles lay eggs. Scientists have found mammoth skeletons with human-made arrowheads and spear points in them. There have been many ice ages over millions of years. Turtles appeared on Earth before dinosaurs. Some dinosaurs lived in the sea. Dinosaurs used to live in Antarctica. TRUE FALSE TRUE Turtles were around for millions of years before the first dinosaurs. The ancient creatures that lived in the seas, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs, are marine reptiles, not dinosaurs. Antarctica used to be warm and full of trees at the time of the dinosaurs. Some dinosaurs lived in big herds. TRUE T. rex was the biggest dinosaur. FALSE The first life on Earth was in the ocean. TRUE Scientists have found whole herds of dinosaurs that all died and fossilized together. T. rex was the biggest North American predator, but sauropods (long-necked dinosaurs) were much larger. Scientists have found 3 billion year old fossils of ancient sea life. Sabre-tooth cats were as big as horses. FALSE Sabre-tooth cats were about the size of a big dog.
8 AMAZING DINO MAZES Recommended for Grades K through 3 Can you help Dipsy Doodle find her egg, then make your way through the long-necked dinosaur? Enjoy these dinosaur mazes!
9 DRAW A SAUROPOD Recommended for grades K through 3 Follow the instructions and draw your own longnecked dinosaur at the bottom of the page, or on a separate sheet of paper MY SAUROPOD MY SAUROPOD S NAME IS: SAUROPOD FACTS Sauropods are the largest animals to have ever walked on Earth; some of them were bigger than a jet airplane and weighed more than twelve African elephants! Sauropods swallowed hard stones to help them grind up food in their bellies, like chickens and crocodiles do today. Scientists call these stones gastroliths. Palaeontologists used to think longnecked dinosaurs lived in the water, but now we know that they were welladapted for walking on land.
10 DRAW A STEGOSAURUS Recommended for grades K through 3 Follow the steps below and draw your own Stegosaurus at the bottom of the page, or on a separate sheet of paper MY STEGOSAURUS STEGOSAURUS FACTS The name Stegosaurus means roofed lizard, because the plates on its back look like old fashioned roof tiles. Compared to other dinosaurs, Stegosaurus had the smallest brain compared to its body size. Its brain only weighed as much as two hard boiled eggs. MY STEGOSAURUS' NAME IS: Stegosaurus had long spikes on the end of its tail that it could use for defence.
11 CRETACEOUS COLLAGE Recommended for Grades K through 3 Cut out and colour animals and plants to create your own ancient landscape, then post it on your classroom wall! 1. Photocopy the following pages so all students have a copy of 1 or 2 sheets with different animals and plants. 2. Have students colour and cut out their pages. 3. Spread a big sheet of paper out on the floor and have students create a background scene with volcanoes, clouds, mountains, streams and forests for the animals to live in. You can also use additional materials like coloured paper, cotton balls, pipe cleaners and glitter. Be creative! 4. Put glue on the backs of the cut outs and place them carefully into the scene. 5. Once the glue has dried, carefully lift and hang the class creation on the wall. 6. Step back and enjoy your magnificent Dino-rama!

16 PALAEO PLAYHOUSE Recommended for Grades 1 through 3 Bring the ancient past to life with your students through role playing! Each student is given a role to play in one of the following scenarios. The teacher narrates and reads the text aloud, one sentence at a time. The students then act out their roles in the front of the classroom, following what the teacher is describing. Cast: Mother Duckbill Baby Duckbill Mother Triceratops Some young Triceratops Some small Raptors One T. rex Two little mammals Some pterosaurs Some long-necked dinosaurs Archelon, the giant sea turtle Scenario 1 Eggs in Danger It is early morning in the Cretaceous Period. The sun rises on a tropical world full of strange plants and animals. It is the Age of Dinosaurs - big ones, small ones, fast ones, slow ones - all acting out their parts in the great theatre of life. Near a river, in a clearing underneath a great cedar tree, lies a circle of eggs. A Mother Duck-billed dinosaur watches her eggs, one of them begins to shake and crack open. A Baby Duck-billed dinosaur comes out of its egg and slowly and shakily gets on its feet and takes its first few steps. Its mother makes comforting sounds and helps it to stand and walk. Some Raptors creep into the bushes nearby and look at the Baby Duck-billed dinosaur with hungry eyes. The Duck-billed dinosaurs are busy and don t notice the hunters watching them. The Raptors creep out of the bushes and circle behind the Mother Duckbill. They sneak closer and closer to the baby dinosaur. Just as they are about to grab it, the Mother Duckbill turns around, sees them, and gives a mighty bellow. The small Raptors jump in fright and run away as fast as they can. The Mother and Baby Duck-billed dinosaurs wander off to find the rest of their herd. * * * Scenario II Don t Step on Me! Some little Mammals run into the clearing. They move very quickly, sniffing around for dinosaur eggs. They find an egg to eat but, just as they are about to eat it, some Long-necked dinosaurs walk into the clearing and start eating the leaves at the tops of the trees. The small Mammals are scared of the big dinosaur feet that are walking all around them. The Long-necked dinosaurs don t even notice the small Mammals. The Mammals scurry into holes in the ground and hide. They wait a long time until the sun goes down and the huge Long-necked dinosaurs lay down and go to sleep.
17 While the Long-necked dinosaurs are snoring, the Mammals sneak out and eat the dinosaur eggs. When morning comes, the Mammals go back into their hole underground to sleep and the Long-necked dinosaurs get up and wander off. * * * Scenario III Mistaken Identity Some Pterodactyls are flying over the sea, dipping down to the water and scooping up fish in their bills. Suddenly a big wind rises up and starts blowing them all over the place. They need to land somewhere and get out of the wind! They fly all over, but the waves are so high and strong that they can t find a place to land. Finally, they see a small island, big enough for all of them to land on. The Pterodactyls land on the island and breathe a sigh of relief. Then they notice that their island is moving! It s not an island at all, its Archelon, the giant turtle! The giant turtle gives them a ride back to safe calm waters. The Pterodactyls fly away and Archelon, dives down deep into the ocean. * * * Scenario IV Circle of Defense A family of Triceratops is happily munching on plants and playing among the trees. A T. rex sees them from far away and begins to sneak towards them. The Mother Triceratops hears T. rex coming and she gives a warning call. All of the Triceratops back into a circle with their horns pointing outwards. The T. rex comes up to the circle of dinosaurs but can t get close to them because of their sharp defensive horns. The T. rex circles around the family of Triceratops but can t attack them. Finally, the T. rex gives up, roars a scary roar, and then leaves. After the danger has gone, the Mother Triceratops gives another call and the family of Triceratops goes back to playing and eating. * * * Scenario V End of an Era All of the ancient animals are busy doing their own things in the ancient world. The Duckbilled dinosaurs, Triceratops and Long-necked dinosaurs are eating plants. The Raptors, and T. rex are prowling around in the trees, the Pterodactyls are flying overhead and Archelon is swimming in the sea. The Mammals are sleeping in their hole in the ground. Suddenly, all the animals look up, there is a fire streaking through the sky. They watch it as it smashes into the earth far away. There is a huge explosion! The earth shakes and rumbles. Huge clouds of ash and dust cover everything. All of the Dinosaurs and Pterodactyls, as well as Archelon die and lay still. After everything becomes quiet and still, the little Mammals come out of their hole and see that all the Dinosaurs are dead. They dance and celebrate, the Age of Dinosaurs is over and the Age of Mammals has begun.

19 BUILD A VOLCANO! Recommended for Grades 2 and 3 A classic science experiment that is easy, fun and educational. Build your own erupting volcano! MATERIALS: a piece of cardboard roughly 20 by 44 centimetres cardboard paper towel tube small vial or cup (plastic measuring cup, film canister, Dixie cup, etc.) tape newspaper aluminium foil spray paint (optional) spray glue (optional) sand or ash (optional) STEP 1: Tape the cardboard tube to the centre of the piece of cardboard standing up. Tape the plastic vial or cup into the top of the tube, with the open side up. STEP 2: Roll sheets of newspapers into balls and tape them into place around the tube in a conical mountain shape.
20 STEP 3: Wrap the mountain-shaped object in tin foil and tape it to the bottom of the cardboard base. Use a pencil to poke a hole through the tin foil over the plastic vial. STEP 4: The teacher can use spray paint to paint the volcano black or brown. The teacher can spray the volcano with spray glue and then sprinkle sand on the volcano. STEP 5: Fill the plastic vial two thirds full with baking soda. Mix two tablespoons of vinegar with red food colouring and pour it into the plastic vial. Step back and watch your beautiful volcano go kablooie! DID YOU KNOW? Volcanoes have played an important part in the history of the Earth; many landmasses were created and changed by volcanic activity. Some of the largest extinction events in Earth s history are at least partly the responsibility of volcanoes. There is evidence that there was a lot of volcanic activity during the end of the Age of Dinosaurs, which may have been one of the contributing causes of dinosaur extinction. Volcanoes can be found all over the world, but most of them are located in the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. The lava from a volcano here on Earth has temperatures that exceed 1,000 degrees Celsius!
