Introduce or review the stages of how fossils form with this folding ammonite cut-and-paste resource. This foldable sequencing activity is a fun alternative to a worksheet for 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade and will help students recall 6 stages of fossilization in a hands-on way. Ammonites were pre-historic sea creatures with tentacles/arms and a spiral shell. Their fossils can be found all over the world in different types of sedimentary rock. This listing is a digital download (14 page PDF) for you to print the pages you require at home or school. It is in English and is not editable. The templates There are 5 similar PDF templates to choose from for this foldout activity: ➡️Template 1 (simplest template. Color, cut, and fold the template). ➡️Template 2 (color, match the words to the pictures, glue, cut, and fold). ➡️Template 3 (color, sequence the combined words/pictures, glue, cut, and fold). ➡️Template 4 (a larger version of template 2). ➡️Template 5 (a larger version of template 3). When closed, you'll just see the large fossil ammonite but when opened, the fossilization process will be revealed! This activity is ideal to use as a science center, for an interactive science notebook or for an earth science lesson on fossil formation. Directions for students are provided, including a picture showing how to fold.

Excited to use all the differentiated versions this upcoming year when I am back in the classroom!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Very fun item; just what I was looking for to make homeschool lessons more interesting. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐So cute - differentiated - we also used the version where kids have to sort the stages as a mini formative assessment. Everything fits/lines up perfectly and we hung them up as a cute backdrop for our pumpkin science experiment. Love it!
