Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe different types of sedimentary rocks and the fossils that can be trapped in the materials and a template to select and record facts and information about a type of fossil found in a sedimentary rock.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore and record how different fossils can be formed when they become trapped in sedimentary rocks.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to identify, compare and classify different types of rocks, soils and fossils according to their matching material properties for appearance, texture and substance. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
