My students will get to make dinosaur skeleton and sea shells fossils with some clay we received on another project. They will also get to explore fossils with the collections we received and print-making with the leaves we also received. There is also a book to go along with this unit that will enhance the learning further.\r\nThis project also gave us \"The Life Cycle of a Plant\" model (kidney bean) and \"The Life Cycle of a Butterfly.\" These will be great hands-on models for the students to refer to when we get to these units. \r\nI can't wait to start these units.
