Wednesday 20/05/20 Fossil Fun

Today haggis met some friends at Mrs June house he had lots of fun with his new friends.

Well girls and boys today we are going to learn a little bit about how we know about dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago. A fossil is made when a dinosaur died usually near water, at some point sand and mud would cover the dinosaur lots of times creating layers which then trapped the dinosaur inside the rocks, this process would take thousands of years to happen. Then a Palentologist someone who studies dinosaurs like a special dinosaur teacher would go digging and would find these rocks, that is how we have learnt so much about dinosaurs. Maybe girls and boys you could go on a dinosaur dig in your garden who knows what you might find!!

Can you see the dinosaur in the rocks? Today we are going to make our very own fossil. You will need water, a tub and a dinosaur don’t worry if you don’t have a dinosaur you can use a small animal toy instead.

Then we will put the tub in the freezer and when it comes out we will have a dinosaur ice fossil. Good luck boys and girls have fun with your science experiment 😊. Haggis is looking forward to seeing your fossils.
