This website highlights a game designed for students studying earth science, life science and evolution. The game reinforces the principle that fossils reveal a record of life on earth and help students relate and match fossils of specific life forms to information known about those life forms. Students role-play as paleontologists searching the world for the pre-historic remnants and evidence of past life. Students move through a landscape, dig for discoveries and research fossil information. This website contains game objectives, materials needed, time required to play the game, rules, design processes and additional references.
