Digging for Fossils

In Room 204 we've been studying fossils for the past 2 weeks.

We know that fossils are the remains of once living things that have turned to rock.

We have learned that there 3 types of fossils: molds, casts, and preserved parts.

Molds: 'dent in'
Casts: 'pop out'
Preserved parts: are the 'real thing'

We also know that fossils give us clues about long ago and we can use those clues to make inferences about life in the past.

The students went on a fossil dig today to culminate the important information that they had learned.

Here are some fun pictures of our dig!

I did film each table of "diggers" as they were digging, and I hope to have those videos posted soon!
