• Recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago.
• Science, Year 3, Rocks
• Describe in simple terms how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock.
• Samples of early life fossils including shark tooth, ammonite, gastropod, and many more.
• Each fossil is numbered and includes notes, aiding structured lessons on geology and early life forms.
• This collection features shark tooth, ammonite, and gastropod specimens, making it ideal for teaching palaeontology in the classroom. Each fossil is numbered and accompanied by detailed notes, helping teachers deliver engaging lessons on geology and early life forms.
• For year three Science, the collection aligns with the Rocks topic, demonstrating how fossils form when living things are trapped within rock. Handling actual fossils provides children a deeper understanding of geological processes and life's history on Earth. This practical approach fosters curiosity and encourages further scientific exploration.
In year six Science, this collection supports the Evolution & Inheritance topic, aiding children in recognising that living things have changed over time and understanding how fossils provide insight into organisms from millions of years ago. The hands-on experience of examining real fossils makes these abstract concepts more concrete and memorable.
