Suitable for KS2 science, pupils will explore fossils through reading passages, sequencing activities, worksheets, and more! **What’s included?** * How a fossil is formed activities. These include differentiated sequence and fold templates for an ammonite and a triceratops fossil, printable sequencing cards, and reading passages. * Slideshow: What can fossils tell us? PowerPoint presentation outlining some of the things fossils can tell us, using real photos. * Fossil photo matching cards. 15 colour photo cards of real fossils, with labels to match (plus answers). * Reading passages and worksheets covering the work of a palaeontologist, types of fossils, and palaeoart. * 12 fossil example word wall cards. * Fossil wordsearch. * 12 fossils task cards. * Slideshow: Mary Anning Fossil Hunter.

How a fossil is formed sequencing cards and foldable activity KS2
Teach the stages of fossilisation at KS2 with this folding ammonite craft and sequecing cards. Ammonites were pre-historic sea creatures with tentacles and a spiral shell. Their fossils can be found all over the world in many different types of sedimentary rock! These activities are designed to complement the KS2 science curriculum and is a fun alternative to a standard fossils worksheet. **How a fossil is formed foldable activity** There are 4 similar templates to choose from for this foldable activity: * Colour the images, cut out and fold * Colour the images, cut out the words and sequence them, glue the words in place, cut and fold. * Colour the images, cut out the words and pictures, sequence, glue, cut and fold. * Larger version of template 3 (over 2 pages). When closed, you’ll just see the large fossil ammonite but when opened, the fossilisation process will be revealed! You can see a finished example on my Facebook page here. Instructions for pupils are provided (including a picture showing how to fold) as well as some questions for a whole class discussion. Some suggested answers are provided for this. US and UK versions are included.
