We've come so far in our prehistory studies! As an introduction to fossils and paleontology I have lined up a series of really fun hands-on experiences. Today we started our day off with a discussion of excavation techniques and the scientific method while the kids "excavated" unknown skeletal remains (owl pellets, not exactly cambrian life, but I wanted something more realistic than the usual plaster-of-paris fossil experiences.) I have some of those lined up as well, but I wanted our introduction to be meaty (but I suppose "bony" would be more accurate!).
