These are from the One Spot at Target (love that area!!)!
The kids spent about an hour at a time for 3 or 4 days digging, using the proper tools to be careful with the "fossils", and learning about being a good scientist. They would say, "I wonder how this dinosaur got here!" "I wonder why the shark lost his tooth?" I LOVE IT!!!
I would definitely use this as a station during science lessons about fossils. I found a site on Make Life Lovely for Homemade Fossil Digs!! It looks really easy and fairly inexpensive. What a great hands-on experience!!
What questions would you ask your students to consider while digging for fossils?
