Give your earth science students a focused look at how fossils form with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
The set includes questions like "Which sedimentary process can lead to the formation of a cast fossil?", "How can climatic conditions influence fossil formation?", and "Which of the following environments is most likely to preserve fossils?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a standards aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Fossil Preservation Types, Stratigraphic Principles, Cross Cutting and Index, Radioactive Decay as Time, Relative and Absolute Dating, and Combining Dating Methods, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to Virginia SOL standard ES.9a.
