Rock builder - simulating the formation of fossiliferous sedimentary rocks
The new ELI today is another in our ELI Early years series - 'Rock builder; simulating the formation of fossiliferous sedimentary rocks'.
This activity uses a variety of coloured sands and shells in plastic bottles, with filler acting as cement to ‘glue’ the grains together. Once the 'rocks' are set, pupils can remove the plastic bottles and excavate the 'rocks' to find their 'fossils'. The activity is very messy but great fun!
