Jewel of the Earth
These resources come from PBS & NOVA. In the program Jewel of the Earth, NOVA explores what plants and animals preserved in amber can reveal about the natural world of the past. The accompanying lesson allows students to collect organisms, use a dichotomous key to identify organisms, classify organisms according to order, and trace organisms back to when they first evolved. Attached is the PDF of the Teacher’s Guide for the lesson.
