Finding Fossils
Overview: This 20 minute eLearning module includes a comprehensive educator guide and covers Indiana 3rd Grade Science Standard 3.LS4-1:
Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.
How it Works: Students explore a 360 degree image of an Indiana creek bed and try to find fossils. Once they find a fossil, the student will learn about that type of fossil and be able to rotate a 3D image of that fossil. The goal is to help students identify fossils commonly found in Indiana so they can better understand the environment of the area millions of years ago. They will also be working on observation and note-taking skills throughout the module.
