Howdy all,
I am seeking suggestions for a fun and educational outreach activity for junior high students (11-14 years old) that involves fossils and Earth history. I’m trying to develop something hands-on and investigatory using the common Paleozoic marine invertebrates (brachiopods etc.), but just can’t seem to get inspired.
The purpose of the activity is to show students what “real” geologists & paleontologists do, in hopes of encouraging them to pursue careers in science. The limitations are that the activity can’t be more than 50 minutes long, and can’t be outside/field-based.
I’d love to hear of any ideas or past experiences…Thanks!
