Fossils

 

Every content event allows a notebook/field guides – limit is 3” thick. Make semester project notebooks and a quick cheat sheet for students to look up info. Best advice is to “Review, review, review!” Although resource materials are allowed, they won’t have the time to use it – they need to know the material already. Making the notebook is when they gain the knowledge
