    This document provides lesson plan activities for teaching students about paleontology and fossils. Students will discuss why fossils are important for understanding how the world evolved and where modern animals came from. They will then draw and label a fossil of an item they think should be preserved for future generations, and explain why it is important to know about. Extensions include having students research dinosaur facts from books and inviting a paleontologist to visit the class. Assessment includes evaluating students' fossil pictures and presentations, as well as checking their understanding during journaling and counting skills during group work.
