FOSSILISATION POSTER

Hi all,

Today, we are sharing one of the interesting school project - Fossilisation. My 9 year old is learning about fossils. This was given as one of his home learning activity.




Fossilisation is the process of formation of fossils - how fossils are formed.

Let's see how we designed this poster.

Materials required:

Maida
Colours


Steps to be followed:

1. Knead a small ball of maida dough. Allow it to dry for few hours or overnight. This will get dried up outside, leaving out some dried patches.

2. Roll small dough of it and roll out and flatten it. Keep this a base for a look alike rock.

3. In Stage 1, we drew a dinosaur and cut out the shape and glue to the rock. If any animal dies on land , will be covered by layers of sediment.

4. In Stage 2,  over timeItime with layers of rocks over it, leaving only the skeleton.

5. In Stage 3, the skeleton gets buried with many layers of rocks by natural.

6. In Stage 4, for fossil, we designed a skeleton using hot glue and placed leaving half way open, depicting due to erosion or wavering of rocks, fossils are found.

3. Cut a picture of dinosaur and use it in the first stage.

4. In the second stage
