Fossil Foldable Use the websites below to read about different
fossils. Answer questions 1-4 for each type of fossil shown. Create
Your Foldable! *You will need 13 full sheets of paper.
Fold 6 pieces of paper in half hamburger Cut all six in half along
the fold. Fold along dotted line. Cut all six along line. 11 8 1/2
Template Take only one half sheet.
Fold it three times hamburger style. 3. Leave the paper folded in
the smallest size. 4. Fold once more hot dog style. Open your half
sheet. Fold it twice hot dog style. Open - You end up with 32
boxes. Final Result Place the sheet that you folded (32 squares) on
top of one half sheet.
Cut the bottom right hand square out of both sheets. Set this sheet
aside. Repeat this process with another one of the half sheets
except cut the first and second squares.
Place this sheet on top of the first. 6.Repeat 5 times cutting one
more square each time.
7.Place each sheet on top. You will end up with 7 pieces of paper
with tabs. Take the top sheet and set it to the side.
Place the next sheet on top of it. The sheet that was on the top
should now be on the bottom and vice versa. Turn the entire stack
over.
Place three half sheets on top of your stack and three behind your
stack. 14.Staple together down the left side. Title Your Foldable
FOSSILS WINDOWS TO THE PAST Open to the first page write the
following information.
PALEONTOLOGY The study of past life forms Paleontologists use
fossils to study past life forms. FOSSIL The preserved remains or
evidence of a living thing Hard parts of an organism are preserved
(bone, teeth). Soft parts decay or get eaten. (muscle, skin, fur).
Fossils are found in sedimentary rocks. Not in igneous or
metamorphic rocks Turn to the second page
How do fossils form? 1. Organism dies 2. Organism gets buried 3.
Sediments harden/preserve creature What can fossils tell us? How
life has changed over time Parts of timeline are more complete
because some fossils were destroyed & others havent been found
Clues to past environments Ice Cores Tropical Plants = warm climate
Marine Fossils on Mountains Ancient Coastlines Turn to the second
to last page
What are index fossils? Fossils of a creature that existed for a
short period of time, the fossils are present in a limited number
of rock layers To be an index fossil, a fossil must be found in
rock layers all over the world. What can they tell us? If we
determine the age of rock layers above and below a fossil, we know
the time span in which the organisms lived. What is the most famous
index fossil? - TRILOBITES Place this information on the inside of
the Back sheet
Trilobites - Phacops Extinct today Closest relative is a horseshoe
crab 400 million years ago When we find this fossil we know the
rock layer is _____ million years old! Go ahead and setup your
foldable. Write each type of fossil on one tab.
