Designed to show middle and high school aged youth how we can use comparisons with the present to learn more about the history of life on Earth. Students can be evaluated on how they have learned to think like scientists - suggesting processes and functions relating to creatures in the past by making observations about the world around them today. 16 activities ranging from hands-on simulations of making fossils, to figuring out whether a dinosaur that left a fossilized foorprint was walking or running will aid in learning. Natural history accounts of fossil organisms, information on fossil collecting, lists of museum fossil collections, and Geological Survey offices, and references for further reading are all included. Published in collaboration with the Paleontological Research Institution (Ithaca, NY).
