Fossil projects for middle school

We are currently studying fossils and dinosaurs as we are reading “The Enormous Egg”, by Oliver Butterworth. We made these Four Types of Fossils Models. Each student needed one individu…

These simple geologic time scale models made out of Play-Doh and beads help students visualize and better understand how the fossil record is organized. They're and easy fun STEM activity for teaching Fossil Evidence in third grade science!

Students will love these fossil record task cards. Students will look at the fossil record and analyze it.

These sweet little handmade fossils are the prefect craft for children who love dinosaurs and archaeology! Diy fossil craft for kids. #craftsforkids #claycraftsforkids #fossilhunting #craftsforpreschoolers #dinosaurcrafts

Learn about fossils and then have a go at making your own fossils! Watch this video to learn all about how fossils are formed. Then read the instructions below to see how to make your own fossils by making impressions in clay or dough with natural objects.
