Edilble Fossil Projects for Kids
My third grade class has had so much fun studying fossils the past two
weeks. We have to make models of fossils. Two of our models were edible. Maybe someone would like to make these as a project at home or volunteer to help at school. Amber fossils -- discuss with your child how small animals were preserved in resin, which hardened into amber. Then place a gummy worm in clear glass or plastic cups and drip orange Jello over the worm. Refrigerate until gelled. Cast fossils -- discuss how molds of decayed organisms are filled in with minerals and the minerals form the shape of the mold. If you are braver than me -- make cornstarch molds to represent the mold fossils. Then fill in the molds with melting chocolate or Jello jigglers to create cast fossils. If you are me -- use seashell candy molds. Tara |
