Re: [dinosaur] Usage of dinosaurs in education



1.  Significance of dinosaurs for our understanding of modern world:

Dinosaurs are widely recognised and understood by a wide variety of people and provide a wonderful way of talking about all manner of scientific ideas. Dinosaurs are uniquely enduring and popular. What happened to them makes us curious about ourselves, and our modern world.

2.  How could the topic of non-avian dinosaurs be best used in education:

Non-avian dinosaurs include the largest terrestrial animals of all time, providing  interest for biomechanics, the evolution of large size, the structures of terrestrial ecosystems and study of evolutionary change or diversity over a long period of time.

If someone asked you what is a general significance of dinosaurs for our understanding of modern world and how could the topic of non-avian dinosaurs be best used in education, what would you reply to that? Thank you in advance! Tom
