4.  What Happened to the Dinosaurs?


There are many theories about why the dinosaurs vanished from the planet.  One theory that many people believe is that a gigantic meteorite smashed into the Earth.  Scientists believe that the meteorite was very big and that the impact may have produced a large dust cloud that covered the Earth for many years.  The dust cloud may have caused plants to not receive sunlight and the large plant eaters, or herbivores, may have died off, followed by the large meat eaters, or carnivores.  This theory may or may not be true, but it is one explanation as to why these giant reptiles no longer inhabit the Earth.

5.  Fossil Mishap

Name of the fake dinosaur and the proposed solution. 

It’s important to think critically about the information that you receive, or else you may be led astray.  For example, the brontosaurus is a type of dinosaur that never really existed.  Many people still believe in the brontosaurus today, but the “brontosaurus” is actually the body of an apatosaurus with the head of a camarasaurus.  This concocted creature was made from two mismatched fossils.  Had more people thought critically about these findings, analyzing the components that were presented, entire generations of school children may not have been misinformed; therefore, think critically about the information that people tell you, even if it’s information you find on a book or in a worksheet.  Keep these problems in mind when conducting your studies.
