This past summer we did a low key unit study on prehistory before embarking on our Ancient Civilization unit. Michael is not particularly interested in dinosaurs or other prehistoric creatures, so part of the objective was to spark his interest. To that end we utilized a lot of fun educational films, and even a not so educational one :)
Land of the Mammoth - instant play on Netflix
Prehistoric Life - DVD from the library
Survival of the Fittest - DVD from the library
Prehistoric Monsters Revealed - DVD from the library
Chased by Dinosaurs - instant play on Netflix
Jurassic Park the Lost World - just for fun :)
Lucy Long Ago - Excellent book, great for the late elementary years. We did it as a read aloud.
