This Word Bank supports writing about how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock.

The vocabulary includes keywords to help students write about the key stages in the fossilization process, arranged under the following headings: Death, Burial, Rock, Mold and Cast, Movement, and Exposure.

Students can read about how fossils are formed in the Clicker Book “From Fish to Fossil – Read a Book”. Search for fossils on LearningGrids for other related Clicker resources.
