History in Science!

In science Team AC have been looking into fossils and how they are made and who discovered them.

They learnt that when an animal dies and is buried by sediment, and then the soft parts of the animal decay or decompose, followed by more sediment and compression until its forms rock. Bones start to be dissolved by water underground and the minerals in the water then turn to rock. 

They made some imprints of shells into salt dough to recreate how a fossil looks. 

They also looked into Mary Anning who discovered fossils, a very significant individual from her time! During History Day children in school dressed as Mary Anning because she was so important!
