This Year 3 Fossil Matching Activity Worksheet looks at three different examples of fossils. Pupils must identify which fossil matches which organism and explain the clues that helped them to make their decision. This activity could be done independently or as part of a paired or group task. There are lots of opportunities for discussion too! This activity follows on perfectly from our Year 3 How are Fossils Formed? Investigation PowerPoint. Download now!
