Complete lesson syllabus

Every lesson below contains age-banded facts and quiz questions. Some lessons also include a make-or-explain artifact prompt. Titles are shown in their current course order.

  1. Fossils: Clues from the Past
    Example: Every claim in this course โ€” what dinosaurs looked like, what they ate, how they moved โ€” traces back to fossils, because dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago, leaving behind nothing but bones in rock.
  2. Brachiosaurus: The Tall Giant
    Example: Brachiosaurus was about 85 feet long and 40 to 50 feet tall โ€” nearly as tall as a ten-story building.
  3. Triceratops: Three-Horned Face
    Example: Brachiosaurus solved the plant-eating problem by growing tall enough to reach high leaves. Triceratops took the opposite path โ€” it stayed low-slung and grabbed plants near the ground, protected by a three-horn arsenal: two long brow horns up to 3 feet each and a shorter nose horn. These weren't just decorative; they were offensive weapons against T-Rex attacks.
  4. Stegosaurus: Plates and Spikes
  5. Armored Dinosaurs
  6. Velociraptor: The Speedy Hunter
  7. T-Rex: King of the Dinosaurs
  8. Feathered Dinosaurs
  9. Dinosaur Eggs & Family Life
  10. Pterosaurs: Masters of the Sky
  11. Ocean Reptiles of the Dinosaur Age
  12. Dinosaur Size & Speed Records
  13. The Great Extinction

How age adaptation works

The lesson record contains separate fact sets and quiz questions for Pre-K, kindergarten, early elementary, and upper elementary. This is not the same paragraph with a smaller font: vocabulary, detail, and question demands can change by age band. Parents can still choose a different level if their child needs it.

Assessment and records

Course quizzes provide immediate practice feedback. Completion and progress can feed parent-managed records, but a quiz score is not a teacher-issued grade, independent diagnosis, or accredited course credit.
