Students will know the geologic time scale and the basic 
geologic principles that allowed geologists to conclude the 
earth is old.
Students will know what earth's climate, oceans, and continents
were in the Mesozoic Era.
Students will know how fossils form.
Students will know that mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and 
ichthyosaurs were contemporaries of dinosaurs.
Students will know that mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and 
ichthyosaurs were not dinosaurs and not particularly closely 
related to them.
Students will know basic geologic and paleontologic principles
used to determine when mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and ichthyosaurs 
lived.
Students will know basic geologic and paleontologic principles
used to reconstruct the lifestyles, including how they swam, 
what they ate (and what ate them), and how they raised their 
young, of mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and ichthyosaurs.
