Today in Mr. Groves class we started off with four volunteers from the class showing the age of fossils by doing youngest to oldest. The learning target was: I can describe how fossils, rocks, and ice cores are interpreted by scientists. We also learned that any fossil(s) that are deep in the ground then they are the oldest fossils and if the fossils are close to the surface then it will be the youngest.
