Aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
In 2021, D&D engaged teachers to help design and test lesson plans based on D&D for both middle school and high school.
They developed eight new lesson plans based on D&D, including:
Middle School
Did if Fly? (The Quetzalcoatlus)
Is it a Dinosaur? (Dinosaur anatomy)
Mary Anning: The First Great Fossil Hunter
Design a Dinosaur
High School
Blue Eyes (How genes work)
Cladistics
Evidence of Evolution (Scavenger hunt)
Galapagos Tortoises
All lesson plans were tested in multiple classes to work out the bugs and get them ready for general use. All are designed to be used with the virtual 3D model of D&D so students can “re-visit” the exhibit as often as they wish online.
