This exciting, award-winning activity will help foster student awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s history and the diversity of life that has existed upon it. Students cast and paint four life-size fossil replicas based on actual specimens. These include a 3” shark tooth, 4” crinoid, 3” trilobite and a 3” ammonite. Students discover how fossils are formed, learn why they are important to us and what they can tell us about the Earth’s past.
