Fossils and Mary Anning
LKS2 1 hour Available all year
This workshop provides pupils with a hands on introduction to fossil formation and palaeontologist Mary Anning, who discovered fascinating ichthyosaur fossils on Dorset's Jurassic coast.
Pupils will discover:
-
How fossils are formed, and the part sedimentary rock plays in this process
-
Common fossils found in the UK
-
The lives of ichthyosaurs over 100 million years ago
Pupils will handle real fossils found on the Jurassic coast, take part in demonstrations, and put together images of bones to form an ichthyosaur skeleton.
This workshop supports key science curriculum topics including:
-
Year 3 Rocks and fossils
-
Year 3 Animals including humans
This workshop is ideal for introductory 'hook' lessons, and consolidating and making curriculum learning memorable.
