Identify fossil evidence
Middle school students examine fossil evidence in this Life Science worksheet, learning how preserved remains and traces support scientific understanding of evolution and natural selection across grades 6-8. Teachers can use it to ground abstract evolutionary concepts in physical, observable data. Students practice interpreting evidence, a cornerstone skill in the Evolution and Natural Selection strand.
Learning objectives
- Identify types of fossil evidence and explain what each type reveals
