Proposal to Khan Academy: Integrating the Dinosaur Extinction Event into Basic Science Curriculum

This proposal recommends the development of a dedicated learning module exploring the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) dinosaur extinction event, specifically focusing on the asteroid impact theory and its "impact winter" effect—where atmospheric debris blocked sunlight, dramatically altering Earth's climate. This content would strengthen Khan Academy's planetary science offerings while connecting geology, astronomy, and biology in a compelling, real-world context.
