Fascinating Fossil Finds

by: Christine Anne Royce

Dinosaurs and the prehistoric age captivate children. At a young age, children can often cite facts and information about various dinosaurs, even if they do not yet understand the connection between dinosaurs and the way scientists gather information from fossil evidence. Through the activities in this chapter, students “unearth” fossils and explore the processes scientists use in uncovering these fascinating finds and interpreting Earth’s past.
