Have you ever imagined yourself as a paleontologist? Digging up
dinosaur bones from deep beneath the ground? Most of your children
have. They are very excited as we begin our dinosaur unit. Yesterday
many fossils (and replicas) were spread throughout the room. The
children acted as true scientists as they drew observational sketches
and took notes about what they drew. At the end of the session, we held a
scientific meeting. The scientists shared their findings and made
theories about what they noticed.
Today we learned that there are three types of fossils: mineralized fossils, trace fossils and preserved fossils. Ask your third grader to explain how each one is created.
