In this mini-lesson, students discover the best places to look for dinosaur fossil--and how close to home that may be!
Here are some writing prompts to help students reflect on the mini-lesson. Feel free to copy and paste them into an assignment.
Bonus Activity: If you want to find dinosaur fossils, the first step is to study rocks! Ask an adult to go on a nature walk with you, and keep an eye out for rocks. What do you notice about each rock you find? What shape is it? What color is it? If you scratch the rock with your fingernail, do any little pieces come off? See if you can find five different rocks on your walk. Then, make a drawing of each rock. Do you think any of them are the type of rock that might contain dinosaur fossils? Why or why not?
