OtherDescription:
Fossils provide a valuable record of the plant and animal life and environmental conditions from millions, even billions of years ago. In this lesson, students create their own fossils, and then use multimedia resources to learn how real fossils form and what scientists can learn from them. They should understand that fossils provide evidence of plants and animals that lived long ago, as well as the environmental conditions at that time. Instructions, a materials list, and links to multimedia resources are provided.
