Description

Inspire your class to become trainee paleontologists with this fossil identification activity! This printable earth science resource has 15 color photo cards of different fossils, with labels to match. Print and laminate to use as a science center again and again.

Fossil examples include an ammonite, a mosasaur tooth, a megalodon tooth, shells, coral, and a plesiosaur backbone.

There are 2 sets of labels to choose from (1 set requiring some internet research, the other more descriptive to allow pupils to try to identify without needing to go online).

Teacher notes provide guidance for how to deliver this activity with students, as well as suggested discussion points and answers. You can see a full preview to make sure this resource is suitable for your students.

Both US and UK paper sizes are included.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-ESS2-3
Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions. Examples of data include similarities of rock and fossil types on different continents, the shapes of the continents (including continental shelves), and the locations of ocean structures (such as ridges, fracture zones, and trenches). Paleomagnetic anomalies in oceanic and continental crust are not assessed.
NGSS4-ESS1-1
Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time. Examples of evidence from patterns could include rock layers with marine shell fossils above rock layers with plant fossils and no shells, indicating a change from land to water over time; and, a canyon with different rock layers in the walls and a river in the bottom, indicating that over time a river cut through the rock. Assessment does not include specific knowledge of the mechanism of rock formation or memorization of specific rock formations and layers. Assessment is limited to relative time.
