Changes Over Time: Fossils
Start here
Focus on what fossils tell us about evolution. Open support for “Explore Fossils: We're Going on a Dinosaur Hunt!”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 6 learners practise explaining what fossils tell us about evolution.
The activities include Explore Fossils: We're Going on a Dinosaur Hunt!, Identify Fossils: We're Going on a Dinosaur Hunt!, Investigate Fossils: We're Going on a Dinosaur Hunt!, and related practice.
