PRODUCT SUMMARY
Children have probably seen them in books or on display in museums, but what are fossils, and just how did they form over millions of years? Young viewers will learn the answers to these questions and more in All About Fossils, a lively look at the evidence of things that lived a long time ago. Examine the different ways in which fossils are formed, and see how paleontologists -- the scientists who study fossils -- figure out the age of these ancient creations. In a fun, hands-on activity, children will see how molds and casts are made, while a visit to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science showcases how fossils are restored in order to be displayed in museums. Part of the Earth Science for Children Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
