Nearly Done - Prehistoric Study

We have just about finished our prehistoric study...
KM is very proud of the lapbook that we created from various sources...

The bottom pocket holds this Pangaea puzzle which shows how the continents shifted.
This bar graph is on the back.
We have a HUGE map that I printed out from Owl & Mouse -
I love that you can print them in all different sizes, this one is 4x4.
We covered it with clear contact paper so that we can stick things to it
and use dry erase markers on it.
KM researched where the different fossils had been found and then posted them.


We got lots of printables from Learning Pages - their site is mostly designed for Pre-k to 3rd grade but you can tweak a lot of the cut-outs and murals to fit older age groups or to use with multi-age/level kids ~ which is what we did hear.


KM told SC a story as they placed the different species on the different areas of mural.


We will be ending this area next week with a special trip to the Museum of Science to spend the day going through their evolution outline. We are also going to spend a good deal of time that day studying the tamerians! I will let you know how it all works out!

Here are two sites that go with the lapbook that I nearly forgot -

Lapbook templates - http://homeschoolhelperonline.com/lapbooks.htm

Some of the flaps came from this site - http://www.homeschoolshare.com/dinosaurs.php -
however we did not use all of them as this is a creation based unit, but a lot of the pieces were fine either way.

Hope that helps!
