(View Complete Item Description)If a plant or animal is buried by sediments, two types of fossils may be formed - a mold or a cast.
All resources in 3rd/4th Science Teachers
Evolution: Ancient fossils
(View Complete Item Description)Ancient fossils Darwin found in South America suggested that ancient animals might be related to present-day living organisms.
Sedimentary Rocks: Fossils forming
(View Complete Item Description)Fossils often form along with sedimentary rocks because organisms can be quickly buried by sediments.
Fossils: Mold
(View Complete Item Description)When a plant or animal is buried by sediment, it decays over time and leaves a space, referred to as a mold.
Fossils: Cast
(View Complete Item Description)When a plant or animal is buried by sediment, it decays over time and leaves a space. A cast is formed when this space is filled by sediments or minerals that harden over time.

3.3.1 Lesson Plan - Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
(View Complete Item Description)Plan and carry out investigations that provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Emphasize investigations where only one variable is tested at a time. Examples could include an unbalanced force on one side of a ball causing it to move and balanced forces pushing on a box from both sides producing no movement.
