First National Fossil Day Poster
National Fossil Day is today! Celebrated on the Wednesday of Earth Science Week (second week in October), the day reminds us of the importance of fossils in our scientific and educational communities. The celebration was started in 2010 by the National Park Service. This year’s theme is The Rise of Ancient Life in our National Parks and Monuments. Idea: Children could make their own fossil replicas by consulting 100 Glues, Brews, and Goos: Kid-Tested Activities That Stimulate Creativity and Critical Thinking by Diana F. Marks. They could also visit a GREAT website at: National Fossil Day.
