NOTE: This is usually a free coloring pages site. The coloring pages are still here. Just click on the category buttons up top. In response to the pandemic that has many parents doing home schooling, and to help teachers that are now doing online teaching, I am posting some pages of Readings or articles with worksheets that go with the reading. These are found, in printable form, by clicking on the button up top labeled: Science Readings and Worksheets. There IS an online video for each assignment available for kids to watch as they do these worksheets. Just use your search engine to find the correct video. All are currently available for free via YouTube, or Vimeo, or DailyMotion etc. By the way, there is no cost to print any pages on this blog. There are also no ads.
Today's post is based on the video: When Dinosaurs Roamed America. This video was previously titled When Dinosaurs Roamed North America. It starts at the Triassic Period. This was the first period of dinosaurs. The next period was the Jurassic Period, then the last period with dinosaurs was the Cretaceous Period. Earth history is divided up into 4 Eras with the Eras divided into Periods. Dinosaurs lived in the Mesozoic Era.
An interesting point they make in the video is that perhaps most or all of the mass extinctions in the history of life on Earth may have been caused by asteroids or comets hitting the Earth. By the way, a comet is a big dirty ball of ice in space. An asteroid is a space rock. When an asteroid starts to burn up in a planet's atmosphere it is a meteor. A shooting star is a meteor. When the meteor hits the planet it is then called a meteorite. I remembered this by saying to myself: "The space rock hit RIGHT on the planet." Hence the term meteoeRITE. . . . or . . . meteroite.
Bones from a Coelophysis dinosaur at Saints and Sinners Quarry in Eastern Utah
The photo was taken at the Saints and Sinners Quarry. We went there with the BYU (Brigham Young Univeristy) Geology Department. These are fossilized bones of Coelophysis. I posted on this site after I drew Coelophysis back a couple of years ago. Coelophysis was one of the very first dinosaurs. They have also found fossils of Coelophysis in New York.
