Day 2 Go outside and view the bones in the Outdoor Education area. View the fossils. Try to guess what they are fossils of. Discuss how fossils are formed. Each student will make a fossil using plaster, seashells, and modeling clay.
Press seashells into the clay to make imprints.
Remove the shells. The teacher will pour plaster of paris into the cups. Let the fossils dry over night. The next day, remove contents from the cup. Peal off the modeling clay and you have a fossil.
