  3. Fossil Formation A preserved clue to life on Earth long ago is called… What is a fossil?

  4. Clues to the Past When scientists find a fossil, they make a about the animal while it was alive. What is a prediction (or an inference?

  5. Science Court True or False: Only animals can become fossils. False

  6. Study of Dinosaurs A scientist who studies the remains of living organisms from long ago is called what? A paleontologist

  7. Fossil Formation Fossils are formed in these types of rocks. What are sedimentary rocks?

  8. Clues to the Past Give at least one reason why fossils are important. • They tell us what living things • were like in the past. • 2) They also tell us what Earth • was like long ago.

  9. Science Court What is petrification? Petrification is the name for the Process that turns living things, Like bones, into rock.

  10. Study of Dinosaurs Scientists know about how old A fossil is by looking at where it was in the of the Earth. What are the layers of the Earth?

  11. Fossil Formation Tracks, burrows, and animal droppings are examples of this type of fossil. What are trace fossils?

  12. Clues to the Past How can whole plants and animals be preserved as fossils? If animals were trapped in tar pits, Glaciers, or tree sap, they are preserved as whole fossils.

  13. Science Court Name the 4 steps required to petrify an organism. 1.The animal dies 2.It gets buried quickly under sediment 3.The tissue decays 4.The bones are slowly replaced by minerals.

  14. Study of Dinosaurs Which layer is older in this picture, the yellow layer or the blue layer? The yellow layer

  15. Fossil Formation An imprint made by the outside of a dead plant or animal is called a . What is a mold fossil?

  16. Clues to the Past Explain how scientists know that living things have changed over time. Scientists compare fossils found to living animals today, so that shows how they have changed over time.

  17. Science Court The soft parts of animals include things like skin, tongues, and organs. Why do we not usually find fossils of the soft parts of animals? The soft parts decay before they can become fossils.

  18. Study of Dinosaurs Name at least one way Paleontologists predict the ages of fossils they find. • Looking at where the fossil was Found in the layers of rock.2) Look at how much of certain • particles have decayed over time. The more particles that have decayed, the older the layer of rocks • where the fossil was found.

  19. Fossil Formation When sediments or minerals fill a mold fossil, this type of fossil is formed. What is a cast fossil?

  20. Clues to the Past When minerals have replaced Once living material, this is said To have been . What is petrified?

  21. Science Court Name two things that work to Change the surface of the Earth. (Answer in the form of a question.) Earthquakes, volcanoes, shifting continents, and erosion (water and soil erosion)

  22. Study of Dinosaurs How can scientists look at fossils and make predictions about how the organism lived? Scientists can examine the fossils of organisms to see what made it possible for them to survive in that habitat.

  23. Final Jeopardy How many points do you wager?

  24. Final Jeopardy Question What did the habitat of Kentucky Use to be like? How do we know? (Think about the types of fossils We have looked at throughout our unit.) Kentucky used to be under water a long time ago. We know this because we have found a lot of shells in the sedimentary Rocks Seen in class. Since animals with shells live underwater, we know that Kentucky used to be underwater as well.

  25. The End Thanks for playing Jeopardy!! See you next time!
