Education Standards
Learning Domain: Biological Unity and Diversity
Standard: Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
Learning Domain: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
Standard: Use evidence to support the explanation that observable traits can be influenced by the environment.
Learning Domain: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
Standard: Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
Learning Domain: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures & Processes
Standard: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction.
Learning Domain: Earth and Human Activity
Standard: Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and the places they live.
Learning Domain: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
Standard: Analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of life forms throughout the history of life on Earth under the assumption that natural laws operate today as in the past.
Learning Domain: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
Standard: Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships.
Learning Domain: Language
Standard: Use a known root word as a clue to the meaning of an unknown word with the same root (e.g., addition, additional).
Learning Domain: Reading: Foundational Skills
Standard: Identify and know the meaning of the most common prefixes and derivational suffixes.
Learning Domain: Reading: Foundational Skills
Standard: Decode words with common Latin suffixes.
Learning Domain: Reading: Foundational Skills
Standard: Use combined knowledge of all letter-sound correspondences, syllabication patterns, and morphology (e.g., roots and affixes) to read accurately unfamiliar multisyllabic words in context and out of context.

Science Domain: Earth and Space Sciences
Topic: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Animals, Plants, and Their Environment
Standard: Use a model to represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and the places they live. [Clarification Statement: Examples of relationships could include that deer eat buds and leaves, therefore, they usually live in forested areas; and, grasses need sunlight so they often grow in meadows. Plants, animals, and their surroundings make up a system.]
Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems
Standard: Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the diversity of living things in each of a variety of different habitats.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include specific animal and plant names in specific habitats.]
Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits
Standard: Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment. [Clarification Statement: Examples of the environment affecting a trait could include normally tall plants grown with insufficient water are stunted; and, a pet dog that is given too much food and little exercise may become overweight.]
Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Environmental Impacts on Organisms
Standard: Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all. [Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence could include needs and characteristics of the organisms and habitats involved. The organisms and their habitat make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.]
Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Structure, Function, and Information Processing
Standard: Construct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that function to support survival, growth, behavior, and reproduction. [Clarification Statement: Examples of structures could include thorns, stems, roots, colored petals, heart, stomach, lung, brain, and skin.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to macroscopic structures within plant and animal systems.]
Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Natural Selection and Adaptations
Standard: Analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of life forms throughout the history of life on Earth under the assumption that natural laws operate today as in the past. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on finding patterns of changes in the level of complexity of anatomical structures in organisms and the chronological order of fossil appearance in the rock layers.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include the names of individual species or geological eras in the fossil record.]
Science Domain: Life Sciences
Topic: Natural Selection and Adaptations
Standard: Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on explanations of the evolutionary relationships among organisms in terms of similarity or differences of the gross appearance of anatomical structures.]
Cluster: Vocabulary Acquisition and Use.
Standard: Use a known root word as a clue to the meaning of an unknown word with the same root (e.g., addition, additional).
Cluster: Phonics and Word Recognition.
Standard: Identify and know the meaning of the most common prefixes and derivational suffixes.
Cluster: Phonics and Word Recognition.
Standard: Decode words with common Latin suffixes.
Cluster: Phonics and Word Recognition.
Standard: Use combined knowledge of all letter-sound correspondences, syllabication patterns, and morphology (e.g., roots and affixes) to read accurately unfamiliar multisyllabic words in context and out of context.
Dino Name Game
Overview
So many dinosaurs have names that come from Greek or Latin roots.
This activity lets kids explore those affixes.
This is a card sort activity that looks at the Greek and Latin affixes found in dinosaur names.
