Rocks & Fossils Virtual Session

What is coal? How was it formed? What do fossils look like?

After this virtual workshop your class will:

• Know that coal is a ‘sedimentary’ rock and is over 300 million years old
• Know that coal, along with the other rocks here at the Museum, are all sedimentary.
• Understand how coal was formed.
• Understand in simple terms that fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within sedimentary rock (e.g. coal).
