Friday, April 3rd: Remember Your Adopted Fossils?

Before spring break, each 6th grader “adopted” and named a fossil. 
Remember that? You drew it, wrote down what you noticed about it,
and then you used resources to try and figure out what plant or
animal your fossil was.

So what were those fossils? What do we know about them?

Over the next 3 days, we are going to learn details about each of them. It's a LOT of cool information- please don't get overwhelmed!

Directions:

1. Print out the note-catcher if you can. If you don't have a printer,

that's ok! You can make your own note-catcher on any sheet of

paper. Link to note-catcher. 

2. Each type of fossil has 2-7 slides of information.  Read about the

fossil and then write 1-2 facts that stand out to you from each one.

3. As we learn what paleontologists have discovered about animals

from the past, think about this question: Why is it important for paleontologists to know a lot about all the animals alive on

earth today?

4. At the end of these three days, be ready to share facts that

stood out to you, new things you learned about your fossil, and

your answer to the question above. 

Assignment: Please comment below with your first name, last initial, and your favorite fact from today's presentation.  That way I know you are able to access this information!
