    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

    This was a video that helps to take you in depth into sauropods and what they are.

    This video tells all about the largest sauropods and it compares them in size and really explains what a sauropod is.

    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.

    I wonder if the spikes on their backs were attached to their spines?

    Wow that's cool.... Did the sauropods have any predators?

    This is a good website! I learned that the pterosaurs' size ranged to the size of a sparrow to the size of an airplane. Their ability to fly probably allowed them to evolve into many nitches.

    Cool website about pterosaurs
  • angelaeast on 03 Dec 12
     
    This is a educational website about pterosaurs. I found it by looking about a cool picture on the different head types of the pterosaurs. It is amazing how many different head types there actually are for a pterosaurs. I would suggest looking here for any useful information that you would like to know about pterosaurs.

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

    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.

    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

    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.
  • evamunroehrlich on 01 Dec 12
     
    This website is descriptive and interesting and exactly what we are learning about
  • Charlie Wallace on 01 Dec 12
     
    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.
  • isobelclara on 02 Dec 12
     
    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.
  • christinemb on 02 Dec 12
     
    This is a very resourceful website. It showed what they ate, what they looked like, species of sauropods and many other interesting facts!

    I thought this was a really good website. It talked about many dinosaurs, there size, climate, and diet.
  • cameronazari on 03 Dec 12
     
    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 good site because the picture is really helpful because it shows the size. Also, there is a mini food chain that shows that the triceratops is a herbivore.

    Iguanodon were large, bulky herbivores. Distinctive features include large thumb spikes, which were possibly used for defence against predators, combined with long prehensile fifth fingers able to forage for food.
  • juliadellasalle on 03 Dec 12
     
    Iguanodons were herbivores and they had a fifth finger that's was able to get food.
  • jwshwayder on 03 Dec 12
     
    Iguenadons were one of the only stable species of its time. I found it very interesting that their self defense mechanism was their large size and the huge thumb spike to injure predators smaller than him.

    This is a really cool sight about fireworks. It goes into some detail about how with a different sized grain of the chemical it can make the last longer once exploded to create a better visual effect. It also explains how different fireworks can create different colors thermodynamics (natures way of conserving energy). To get a sound out of your fireworks scientists are putting a basic fuel in one end while the other is open and when it is lighted it rushes off to the open end the carbon dioxide gives off a whistling sound. One can also make really cool shapes and words in the sky with fireworks. Its all in the way one packs the basic fuel and the colorant pellets. If you like chemistry this is a really cool sight to visit.

    This is a really good website to learn about Earth overall in general. It gives the information about some of earths main tectonic plates(which is color coated so you know which one is which, a size comparison to the moon, which can involve a little bit of math. It also talks about the terrain/surface, weather and climate, and atmosphere.
