3. What is a fossil? A fossil is the remains or evidence of any creature or plant that once lived on the Earth. World's Largest Coprolite (Dino Doo) Found. Alberta, Canada - Canada has one more notable to hang on it's wall, the biggest tyrannosaurid turd in the world. And it is very well preserved at that. Scientists have been going googoo over how incredibly well preserved the 6.7 inch wide and 25.2 inch long dino dropping is. They've been able to identify dino muscle tissue and bone.

4. Fossil Activity Objective: To identify the different types of fossils, how fossils form, where fossils are found, and what fossils tells us by conducting in depth research. 1. You will work individually to research fossils. To earn credit for this assignment you need to write 1 correct fact in the categories about fossils on the board. Initial your facts. 3. While you are researching and recording your findings on the board complete the fossil chart. 4. You will have about 15 minutes to do this.

5. Welcome to Science 1/12 On your paper, create a simple time line that shows the 5 most important events in your life. Today’s Schedule 1. Question of the Day 2. Conclude Discussion on Fossils 3. Begin the Geologic Time Scale Project

6. Question of the Day

7. Rocks and Fossils What happens immediately when something dies? Flesh & muscle decay leaving hard parts behind. Nasty By Nature: Maggot Eating Machines : Video : Discovery Channel Nasty By Nature: Maggot Eating Machines : Video : Discovery Channel Sometimes these hard parts are buried with sediment and turn to rock/fossils

8. How Do Fossils Form? Fossils can form in amber/tree sap.

9. How Do Fossils Form? Mummification- bodies that die in extremely dry or cold environments can dry out or freeze before they can decay. Many mummies are perfectly preserved.

10. How Do Fossils Form? Fossils in tar- 1,000s of years ago there were pits of thick, sticky tar that trapped animals and preserved there remains HowStuffWorks Videos "Prehistoric: Death by Tar Pit"

11. How Do Fossils Form? Trace Fossils- any naturally preserved evidence of an animal’s activity Tracks, burrows, and coprolites (dino-doo) Greatest Discoveries: Laetoli Footprints : Video : Science ChannelGreatest Discoveries: Laetoli Footprints : Video : Science Channel

12. What do fossils tell us? Reveal changes in environments Coral fossils have been found in Iowa/ Iowa was once underwater Fish fossils have been found on mountains. Mountains were once the bottom of oceans

13. What do fossils tell us? Reveal changes in life Index fossils- reveal the age of rocks

14. Geologic Time Scale Dailymotion - Are fossils proof for Darwin's theory of evolution?, a video from firstsciencetv. darwin, evolution, intelligent-design, creation, atheism Geologic Time The Geologic Time Scale is a timeline of Earth’s 4.6 billion year old history made using evidence from fossils. It shows how life has changed on Earth.

15. Making a Geologic Time Scale Project Objective: Reconstruct the Geologic Time Scale into a Geologic Timeline by placing events and fossils in the proper locations. 1. Project Manager, Constructer, 2 Researchers 2. Roll of paper, meter stick, scissors, glue 3. You will need to work together to complete this project. 4. The tentative due date is by the end of class tomorrow. 5. Do your best. Be neat. Ask Questions
