This kit contains a collection of genuine fossil specimens with an accompanying student information sheet and suggestions for activities. There is also a Timeline Activity, based on a 10 metre tape and 58 cards with the names of the main geological periods and pictures of organisms, to help students 'reconstruct' the history of life on earth. The Peppered Moth Activity uses dark and light moth shapes and backgrounds (10 sets) to illustrate the concept of natural selection. The Six Step Sequence Activity (10 sets of 14 cards) investigates one theory of how multicellular animals may have evolved from single-celled organisms. The kit also contains 10 sets of materials for the OPAL Soil and Earthworm Survey and a selection of books, card games, and posters. The Teachers' Notes Booklet gives comprehensive information about all of the resources in the kit.
