Dissection Comparisons - 4 views

The four different animals we dissected in science class are an earthworm, a grasshopper, a crayfish, and, finally, a dogfish. These animals are different from one another because it goes from a ve...

    This is great because it gets right to the point and is very easy to understand. I also like in the beginning how it said that sauropod means lizard footed.

    This website is descriptive and interesting and exactly what we are learning about

    I thought it was interesting that sauropods adapted to have body armor. This is a very good resource.
  • Tucker Hamilton on 02 Dec 12
     
    It used to be thought that the sauropods had a second brain at the base of the tail. Paleontologists now realize that what they thought was a second brain was perhaps an enlargement in the spinal cord in the hip area (although this is not universally accepted), containing nerves and fatty tissue. This enlargement was larger than the animal's tiny brain and may have controlled the animal's hind legs and tail.

    I thought that this was an excellent resource. The information was organized in a clear way. This is a website we should look at in class.

    This is a very resourceful website. It showed what they ate, what they looked like, species of sauropods and many other interesting facts!
  • jmacdonald11 on 03 Dec 12
     
    I thought this was a really good website. It talked about many dinosaurs, there size, climate, and diet.

    It was very interesting how the sauropods have a tiny head therefore brain and are only plant eaters. The sauropods are very huge!
  • juliadellasalle on 03 Dec 12
     
    This was a very useful website that talked about the size of the sauropods bodies and necks, what they ate, and a lot of other cool facts about them.
  • angelaeast on 03 Dec 12
     
    Sauropods are not heavily armed, but later versions of sauropods had some form of armor which was used as protection against other predators. Sauropods were plant eaters and had a very small brain hecause their head was very small. They were herbavores and ate mostley connifers.

    This is a video on the top six largest sauropods. It compares them size to size, and it also includes the supersaurus!

    This video is what we learned a while back, so it was not very helpful for what we are learning now
  • gracemasters on 01 Dec 12
     
    This was a video that helps to take you in depth into sauropods and what they are.
  • katieneal713 on 01 Dec 12
     
    This video tells all about the largest sauropods and it compares them in size and really explains what a sauropod is.
  • Charlie Wallace on 01 Dec 12
     
    I thought this video did it's job to show the biggest sauropods but, I wasn't impressed. It should no other information, where it lived, what it ate, the height, the weight, etc.
  • alexwimer on 02 Dec 12
     
    This video did not explain, as Charlie said, where these creatures lived, the kinds of food it consumed, it's length and body mass, and the other essential details. All it did include was the names of the 6 largest Sauropods and compared their size to each other.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    The largest one's tail is by far the longest compared to body size and is also by far the largest. It kind of looks like the Loch Ness monster!
  • isobelclara on 02 Dec 12
     
    This video is helpful because it compared them in size and told us the names of them. On the other hand it did not give us any other information about the dinosaurs. Like what they eat, where they live and other important details.
  • Kevin Chyung on 02 Dec 12
     
    I wonder if the spikes on their backs were attached to their spines?
  • graceymounsey on 02 Dec 12
     
    Wow that's cool.... Did the sauropods have any predators?

    This website is really interesting because it says that dragonflies have grown by 15%. It was interesting, but irrelivent to the unit.

    Why?

    Cool, but has nothing to do with what we are studying

    This website was really sad, I want giant dragonflies. It was really informative and a brain popper!
  • maxjack on 26 Nov 12
     
    I think it's amazing that the giant dragonfly's wingspan is around two and a half feet. I wonder how large a giant tarantula would be.
  • lilaarnold on 26 Nov 12
     
    The picture is so gross, but I could never imagine a dragonfly 15 times bigger!

    It's very amazing that dragonflies were once very big. This was a very interesting website.
  • taylorstein12 on 27 Nov 12
     
    It is really interesting how super-size dragon flies are 15% percent larger than regular dragon flies!
  • kohlterry on 27 Nov 12
     
    It is so cool that dragon flies were so much bigger than they are now.
  • evanrumsfeld on 27 Nov 12
     
    The dragonflies of this size could not be sustained because the oxygen level lowered.
  • cj5600 on 27 Nov 12
     
    I see why the dragonflies could have grown faster because of the oxygen level. There was more oxygen then. With less oxygen, they could not have grown very fast and would run out of breath.
  • macycummings on 27 Nov 12
     
    I wonder why they shrank or "came back" after the great dying?
  • elevine_14 on 27 Nov 12
     
    The giant dragon flies are 15 percent larger than others. This is interesting to know and read!
  • Tucker Hamilton on 27 Nov 12
     
    The reason why dragonflies are smaller is because of a decrease in oxygen over the years since then. The deacreased oxygen makes the bugs smaller because there is less oxygen for there bodies

    Brontosaurus was one of the largest land animals that ever existed. The dinosaur Brontosaurus is now called Apatosaurus. This enormous plant-eater measured about 70-90 feet long!!!! and about 15 feet tall at the hips.
  • williammccormick on 02 Dec 12
     
    This site tells about the brontosaurus which is now called apatosaurus. This dinosaur has a very small intelligence. This was a good website.

    I never knew that some of those dinosaurs existed back then from the chart at the very bottom of the page.

    This site helps to make easier to understand what some of the dinosaurs that existed back then are called
  • angelaeast on 03 Dec 12
     
    Evan, this was a very good site to learn about brontosaurus or apatosaurus. Apatosaurus have a small head which concludes that they have a small brain, and aren't the most intelligent species that had lived during their time. They had a long tail which acted as a counterbalanced to its very long neck. It also was a tool of protection from other predatorsYet the extremely long neck had advantages for a herbavore who would be constantly attacked by hungry predators. The apatosaurus was a very tall sauropod, which was taller than the allosaurus, which was a predator of the time. The allosaurus is not tall enough to try and snap at the head of the dinosaur, and it wouldn't be smart to get near a whip like like tail such as the apatosaurus's. It had a bulky body and ate rocks to help the digestion of its food.An interesting fact that i had learned was that their nostrils were located on the top of their head, but it couldn't be used as a snorkeling device because the apatosaurus lived on land and not near many big masses of water. I had peg like teeth, which resembling ones of a lizard today, and had four legs.

    This website was very useful in talking about the apatosaurus. The apatosaurus was a plant eater (herbivore). This dinosaur had a small head and walked on four legs. The apatosaurus was one of the biggest land animals.

    In order for a fossil to form, the body must be buried quickly before weather conditions and scavengers have a chance to scatter or otherwise destroy the bone.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    The Morrison rock formation was from about 155- 148 million years ago.
  • isobelclara on 02 Dec 12
     
    This website is extremely helpful and relates directly to what we are learning. We should use it in class to futher our knowledge.

    It includes the fossils that were found.

    This website was really good. It was about the different fossils found, from what dinosaur they where from, and where they where mostly found.

    This is a good museum website to find out more about the edmontosaurus and how it was founded and dug up. It helps you find out about its body structure and its interesting history.
