The word fossil, derived from a Latin word meaning "something dug up," refers to the preserved remains or traces of ancient life. Careful study of both body and trace fossils can answer questions about life and evolution. Fossils also provide informa...tion about the history of Earth itself, telling us, for example, that a tropical sea was present where only a desert exists today. This interactive activity adapted from the University of California Museum of Paleontology explores the kinds of things we can learn from several types of fossils that scientists study.

Short (10 slide) introduction to fossils, converted from PowerPoint to animated format. This clip was developed for 9th grade year students by Australian science teachers. There is no audio but could easily be adapted to fit teacher needs. Some of th...e concepts touched on are as follows: what exactly is a fossil, are fossils the real bones and shells of dead animals, are there fossils in the earth of all the trillions of animals that ever lived, what happens to the skin and other soft parts of the animal or plant, age of fossils, where to find oldest fossils. This is a great resource to work in conjunction with non-fiction texts on this topic. (2:56)
