Objectives
In this lesson, students will: 
· Research online information about the size and shape of a dinosaur
· Record this information as measurements
· Draw a dinosaur on the blacktop using these measurements

Time Frame 
Two 1-hour sessions

Materials
1. Colored sidewalk chalk 
2. Art paper for preliminary sketch
3. Measurement tools (rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks) 
4. Internet resources listed above
5. Camera

Procedure
1. Students work in cooperative teams using the Internet resources, encyclopedias, or reference books to select a dinosaur and record information about the dinosaur’s size and shape based on this data.
2. Students make a preliminary sketch of their dinosaur on art paper detailing measurements.
3. Each team member should be assigned to draw a specific part of the dinosaur and spread out on the playground since the drawings will be so large.
4. Using the preliminary sketch students recreate their dinosaur using the measurements gained in their research.  After the outline of the dinosaur has been created, color can then be added.
5. Use a camera to capture these creations for posterity.
