How can you functi
on fossils as a teach
ing tool?
In my classrooms upward of the years, fossils have not failed to spark pas
time and zeal
in compensati
on learn
ing wide earth sciences. I have seen students,
in another situati
on disengaged
in activities of learn
ing, become perfectly captivated with the get ready of uncover
ing the fossil hid
ing beneath the outwardly of soft rock.
Fossils fasten students to
essays
in h
indi the descripti
on of our planet. They can simultaneously visualize the case of earlier life
time, while exam
ining tenor habitats and species that could develop the fossils of the future.
It is possible that you are look
ing to br
ing this stripe of devoti
on to your classroom or your children at home. Fossils move all sorts of questi
ons. Heed these possibilities :
How past it is this? (Best to the
investigati
on of the Soil’s history.)
What breed of sensual was this? (Lead
ing to zoology and species classificati
on.)
Where did it live? (Supreme to habitats over and nearby,
includ
ing botany.)
How did it live? (Greatest to a sanctum sanctorum of vital functi
ons—more zoology.)
How did it form? (Promote to a chew over of geology and terra science.)
