Heritage Elementary Students Create Fossils

Published September 28, 2020

Fourth grade students at Heritage Elementary are learning all about paleontology.

During Heather Cunningham's science class, students learned about the different environmental needs that must occur for a fossil to form. After the video lesson, students layered gravel, sand and dirt over a small figurine to demonstrate how a fossil is made.

"I learned that fossils help scientists learn more about dinosaurs and other animals," said HES student Adalyn Goldsmith. "I liked making the fossils."
