K12 Teachers 5 years, 6 months ago5 years, 6 months ago5 years, 6 months agoThis is a middle school math lesson about proportions. It might be a fun activity the week of Halloween or Thanksgiving. Students use 3D fossil turkey leg bones to hypothesize what future turkeys could fictionally look like if the growth rate were to remain constant. Although with that scenario we may want to call it “…[Read more]

Hi Gabe, I’d like to feature this opportunity in our sliders and social media outlets. When does the application process close? Do you have a picture from previous years you’d like to feature in the graphic? This looks really exciting!

K12 Teachers 6 years, 9 months ago6 years, 9 months ago6 years, 9 months agoI am curious if anyone in the K12 Teachers group attended the GABI-RET summit meeting in New Mexico — @skillingsworth, @mhendrickson do you all have pictures from your trip that you could share? I’m sure it was an amazing experience, with incredible scenery!
-
Hi! @egardner I do have some pictures of the geology of the area. @skillingsworth probably has some pictures of the fossils they found.

Hi Eleanor. I’m resolving a bug that caused attached images posted to groups to not appear in the groups activity feed. I know it’s been some time since this was posted, but if this image was meant to be posted in a group please let me know and I can fix it.
-
Indeed, I believe it was meant for the K12 Teachers group. Thanks, Max!

K12 Teachers 7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months ago7 years, 5 months agoWhat if I told you that I could fit 100 5-million year old fossils right in the palm of your hand? Well that’s exactly what my 4th and 5th grade students did today in our after-school science class. Students were given a small amount of sediment from North Carolina that contained micro-fossils. Students sorted their sediment into 3 piles: 1.…[Read more]

This is fantastic Becca! It’s great to see the implementation of your lesson plan and seeing how successful it was! I can’t wait to see how the rest turn out! Check it out @bmacfadden

@rebecca-mussetter this looks great! The photos you posted of your students remind me of watching the amateurs and professionals who participated in the GSA short course we ran. The 4th and 5th graders are sorting just like scientists, like @gsantos!
-
Awesomeness!! They are so cute and so on point with their magnifying glasses and sorting columns. Great job on this activity @rebecca-mussetter. I have done this activity with my high school students and I am amazed how this one type of activity can engage participants from literally all age groups.

K12 Teachers 7 years, 10 months ago7 years, 10 months ago7 years, 10 months agoI’m hoping that our group will provide a place to share our ideas about fossil and paleontology in K-12. In addition, we also have a forum on K-12, which if interested, you should check out.
