Hi 6th graders! Today is the last day to learn facts about our adopted fossils. These are some fascinating organisms, right?
I've enjoyed seeing your work and seeing which facts stood out to you most over the last few days!
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 an answer to the question above.
Assignment:
1. Keep your note-catcher from these three days in a safe place. You will need it for tomorrow's task.

my fact is Regose (horn) coral is extinct type also called horn coral.yarixa
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy to think that coral reefs are made out of millions of tiny animals? Thanks, Carlie!
ReplyDeleteYarixa, did you see why it's called horn coral? Those fossils really do look like cow horns! :-)
