🦴 Fossil Clues to Conclusions

Using class evidence charts, fossil replicas, dinosaur models, and picture cards from earlier phases, the teacher guides children in turning observations into conclusion statements such as 'I think this is a dinosaur because…'. Students sort evidence into three baskets: fossil clue, body part, and size clue, then practice saying one conclusion that matches the evidence. The class revisits the essential questions and records shared answers on chart paper with drawings and dictated words.
