Dinosaur Timeline cut and stick

An activity to illustrate that not all dinosaurs roamed the earth at the same time. Pupils stick pictures of dinosaurs on the timeline according to the dates they were believed to be present on Earth. The date information is presented in a table with a separate sheet of pictures for pupils to cut out. There are also some questions for pupils to answer based on the timeline information. There are 2 different timelines, one with the dinosaur dates marked where pupils just stick the correct picture in each box, the other with just the scale so pupils can mark the dates themselves. This resource can be made more challenging for higher ability pupils by giving them squared paper - or graph paper for more accurate date marking - and they draw the scale themselves. Extension tasks can be set to mark other species on the timeline after the dinosaur era. Apologies for the scruffy nature of the answer sheet - it was my test run.
