In this activity, students create models in order to compare the fossil types of molds and casts.
In this activity, each collaborative group of students is given a sample of sand and asked to determine how old the sand is by keying out "fossils" (plastic animals) the sand contains. Once each group has dated their sand, groups will work together to stack all the containers of sand in order from oldest to youngest.
In this activity, students are given random fossil pieces and asked to compare them to living animals of today in order to determine what the fossil animal did and ate, where it lived, and how it defended itself.
In this activity, students acts as a paleontologist as they create and analyze tracks.
