Help My Students Learn About the Fossil Record!

Help me give my students fossil sorting kits to use in my physical science and biology classes to give students a fun, hands on activity to learn about the fossil record.

My Project

These materials will be useful for teaching my students about the fossil record this year, and for years to come.

The fossil record is a vital piece of evidence for understanding Earth's history, and the history of life on Earth, but it is so much more interesting to learn with real fossils, rather than books.

Many students at our school have never had the opportunity to take a hands-on lab science class before so bringing them opportunities to work with real fossils would be very impactful for their learning. Thank you for considering funding our classroom!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
