DINOS A TO Z: TYPES OF DINOSAURS LESSON PLAN CONTENT PAGES

Classifying Dinos

The Dinos A to Z: Types of Dinosaurs lesson plan contains one content page. You know that there are lots of different dinosaurs! What’s your favorite? Did you know that we can classify dinosaurs? Classify means to put things in order.

For example, do you like LEGO®? LEGO® bricks come in different colors, shapes, and sizes. You combine all the same shapes to make them easier to work with. Then, you arrange the same shapes by colors. You classify your LEGO® bricks by shapes and colors!

The lesson then provides a list of 15 classifications with a description and example for each. Why do we classify things? We do it to understand how they are connected. Classifying helps us spot similarities and differences more easily. By organizing things, we can find what we need faster. Can you think of something you’ve classified before?
