First grade went on a fossil dig! They have been learning about animal adaptations. They studied what is helpful for animals that dig, like scoop shape, claws, and teeth. They built a prototype to dig out fossils, tested the prototype, and made improvements on the prototype. They then got to sift out the fossils and take a closer look at them. They could then sort the fossils and read the information cards about the fossils!
