Topic: Using Fossils to Understand Ecosystems

 Description: In this inquiry-based lesson plan unit, students will use the Marine Fossils from the Bear Paw Shale Formation, (found at the “Lost in Time” Ranch, Montana) to guide their inquiry about organisms and their connection to their environment. The students will use their questions, gained from examining the fossil artifact, to guide research projects. They will use print and non-print resources to help them answer their questions.
