Prehistoric Life February 13 - March 15, 2012

Research was be the main focus for this unit about life in prehistoric times. As students learned about deep time and the appearance of different life forms on earth, they chose one specific topic to research and become more knowledgeable in. A short presentation from each student was given.

Topics such as: theories on the cause of the last great extinction, Pangaea, the prehistoric history of flight, the La Brea tarpits, and of course, sabertooth tigers, mastodons, and the "terminator pig" were among the many well researched projects. All of the students' work is on display in the Soule Program hallway at school. The children did an awesome job picking interesting topics and finding important information about each subject.
