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).
