UNIT 3 - Earth's History
1/8 -Today as a class we discussed and signed a classroom contract that outlines the important rules and consequences that are expected to be followed in order to produce a successful learning environment.
For today's lesson, we copied into our journals 5 questions and titled them "Unit 3 questions" (see picture). You will find the answers starting on page 150 in the textbook.
You must copy the question down, but you do not have to answer in full sentences.
DO NOT FORGET - the journal is 50% of your grade: 40% on the right hand side for classwork, 10% on the left for reflections (homework)

1/13 - Today we watched a video called, "The Truth About Killer Dinosaurs". This video directly relates to fossils and what they can us about the physiology and behavior regarding organisms that lived in the past. The video can be found if you click here.
The following questions are to be answered while watching the video:
1.) Where is the researcher in this video located? (hint:swamp)
2.) What is the only type of evidence we have about dinosaur history?
3.) Name something else fossils can tell us about T-Rex's appearance (besides size!)
4.) What type of animal attacked the triceratops pelvis in the fossil the scientist had?
5.) What is T-Rex's oldest currently living relative? (hint: lives in a swamp!)
6.) The injured fossil of triceratops healed! What does this indicate regarding its interaction with T-rex?
7.) Based upon information from fossils, could dinosaurs see in color?
8.) T-rex was faster or slower than a modern day ostrich?
