Centennial fourth graders experienced how Paleontologists have used fossils to learn about Nebraska's ancient climate and habitats. This project started with the students digging for fossils as a team. They encountered lots of small and medium fossils as well as one large mystery fossil. They had to make predictions about what the climate and habitat was like based on the type of fossil they had. The second day was the interaction with a representative from University of Nebraska Morrill Hall where they then got to actually identify their mystery fossil. The large fossil was the cast of the different elephant (Mammoth and Mastodon) teeth. The students had to determine what the elephant ate then figure out what kind of environment they must have lived in. This assignment fit in with the social studies curriculum, which is all about Nebraska history.
