Lesson 16 Rocks and Soils: Fossils

Greetings!

Let’s get into the last part of our rocks and soils unit: fossils.

Fossils are more than just dinosaur bones. It’s sharks’ teeth and shells and even plants! Today, you will be watching a video about a fossil dig in South America where a very large dinosaur was found. There is also a digital poster with the definition–plus examples–of fossils. Then go to the discussion board to share your thoughts.
