Science
I can describe how most fossils form and make a model fossil.
From Mud to Rock
Most fossils start when a plant or animal is buried quickly in mud or sand. Soft parts rot away. Hard parts, like bones and shells, stay. Over a very long time, more mud piles on top. Minerals in water seep in and slowly turn the hard parts to rock. Millions of years later, wind or water may wear the rock away and uncover the fossil.
Number the steps in order from 1 to 4.
- 1.
Minerals seep in and slowly harden into rock. ____
- 2.
Wind, water or Earth movements uncover it. ____
- 3.
A living thing dies and is buried in mud or sand. ____
- 4.
The soft parts rot away. ____

- 6.

Challenge: Why do soft body parts, like skin, rarely become fossils?

I can choose a real community issue and tell who it affects.
Look: the five tests
- Is it real and local? Did we see it in our town?

Choose an Issue: give each idea 1 point for every test it passes.
