Ms. Brown’s 4th graders had a blast during our fossil excavation activity! Students used cookies as “sedimentary rocks” and chocolate chips as the “fossils” hidden inside. 🍪✨
They carefully “excavated” their fossils just like real paleontologists—learning about rock layers, tools, patience, and scientific observation. Such a fun (and tasty!) way to bring science to life! 🧪🪨
Great job, 4th graders! 👏🧡
