Examining Fossils
Kit provides students with the opportunity
to handle and examine eight
different fossils from various localities and

the power and limitations of using
fossils as evidence of past life and as one
of the bases for determining evolutionary
relationships. The geological time scale is
also introduced to understand the history
and evolution of life on earth. Reusable.
For up to 32 students. Grade 6—12. One
year warranty. Sh. wt. 1.33 kgs.

Investigating
Amber Fossils Lab
Uncover prehistoric insects trapped
in amber! Captivate your students as
they polish amber to reveal actual, prehistoric
insects — snared thousands
of years ago! Using the included dichotomous
key, students will identify
and classify the trapped insects and
experience the process of fossilization
as they cast their own specimens in
simulated amber! Through activities,
your class will gain a better understanding
of how fossils are formed as
well as how the Earth’s fossil record helps us to understand our past. Includes fossilized
specimens, casting materials, and comprehensive teacher and student guides featuring
complete instruction as well as dichotomous keys. Complete for 40 students. Grades
7—12. Sh. wt. 2.75 kgs.
