Enchanted Learning typically breaks down and presents topics into digestible bites. This time is different; perhaps because the topic is complex. The information here about dinosaurs and birds tracks the debate in careful detail, including all the steps and players involved in this century-old debate. For something simpler, look across the menu bar at the top of the page for coloring pages and other reproducible sheets.

Dr. George Johnson writes “On Science.” This time, he addresses the topic “Dinosaurs for Thanksgiving Dinner,” serving-up the history of the debate about birds as dinosaur-descendants in clear non-technical language. This provides excellent background for teachers explaining the debate to their students.

The National Aviary in Pittsburgh, PA is an environmental organization composed of educators, conservationists, and researchers. “The study of bird evolution is growing and changing very quickly. Many new discoveries are being made, especially in Mongolia, of early birds and feathered dinosaurs. Because the field is in such flux, there are a lot of theories and arguments in the expert community. This activity lets your students participate in the fun, by debating topics in bird evolution.” HINT: Click the “GO” button at the top left corner of the page to get started.
