Part A: Collect Data
Question 1
Separate your four fossils and label them Fossils A, B, C, and D. Using your magnifying glass, closely examine each fossil.
Complete the table to record your observations, which should include these details:
• Predicted kingdom: Classify the fossil based on whether it shows the characteristics of a plant, animal, or fungi.
. Physical characteristics: Note the shape, patterns, and any other physical features of the fossils.
. Predictions about its environment: Based on the features of the fossil, what type of environment did the organism
live in? Was it an aquatic organism or a land organism? Did it require a hot or cold climate?
. Similar living organisms: Try to identify a present-day organism that resembles your fossil. What characteristics do
the two organisms share? What characteristics are different?
