As part of our science unit ‘Evolution and Inheritance’, we have been looking at how fossils are used to evidence past living things and support Darwin’s theory of evolution. We have recapped how fossils are formed and discussed whether fossils are useful when identifying adaptive and inherited traits. To support our learning we decided to create our own fossils using our craft skills. With clay, we developed prints of leaves which enabled us to assess characteristics and further discuss common ancestors. Take a look below to see what we have been up to!
Challenge: How are we able to identify if two animals have a common ancestor?
