Grade 3 students travel back in time in this Earth and Space Science worksheet, identifying fossils and explaining how they form and what they reveal about organisms that lived long ago. Teachers can use it alongside fossil specimens, photographs, or a museum read-aloud to help students connect the abstract concept of geological time to tangible evidence. Understanding fossils supports students' developing sense of Earth history and prepares them for later study of evolution and natural selection.
