Description
Help students explore how evidence of ancient life becomes preserved with these Fossilization Doodle Notes for middle school Earth science! These guided notes combine science vocabulary with visual examples to help students organize their understanding of fossil formation.
Use this resource during lessons on fossils, fossilization, and Earth’s history. Students can add notes, annotate illustrations, and use color to highlight key ideas as they learn how the remains or traces of organisms can be preserved and become part of the fossil record.
These fossilization guided notes work well for whole-class instruction, interactive science notebooks, and review. Completed pages give students a reference to revisit during your fossils and geologic history unit.
What are doodle notes??
Doodle notes are a visual note-taking strategy that will increase student engagement, focus, creativity and concept retention. Recent studies have found that doodling or taking visual notes while studying science material can help enhance learning, engagement, and reasoning. Teaching students to use doodling in class will help them remember more, focus on the topics at hand and generally enjoy the lessons more.
Lead your class through the worksheet with the included reading and powerpoint, or assign independently and review when they are finished. This assignment would also make great sub plans!
Your students will be completely engaged with this doodling activity!
