The Spinosaurus spinal health program is
aimed at primary school children. A range of resources
have been developed to support the program including six
Spinosaurus Adventure Booklets, a teacher manual, songs
and a "Spinosaurus Video".
These resources have been trialed successfully
in primary schools and currently being revised and published
as funding permits.

Web Resources
The web site has been designed to complement the Spinosaurus
program. It adapts selected elements from the other program
resources.
The "Adventures" section introduces
essential concepts through the Spinosaurus characters and
themes. The "Activities" section offers a variety
of interactive computer and "away from computer" Spinosaurus
activities that can be applied across subject areas, either
autonomously or as part of a thematic program. "The
Spine" section presents an interactive account of
the anatomy and functions of the spine.
All of the sections are interconnected to cross reference and
reinforce learning.
Web site resources are continuing to be developed
and extended.
We welcome your feedback, suggestions
and requests.
