This club will be a fun way to explore prehistoric life together! Discover how fossils are formed and what the five main types of fossils are. Investigate examples of trace, cast, mold, and true-form fossils while the teacher shares her fossil collection. Find out what megalodon teeth, ancient sea creatures, fossilized scat, and dinosaur bone fragments look like through fossil guessing games and discussion. Learners will be introduced to the geologic time scale and a variety of at home science and art activities will be provided.
