Fossil evidence gives young scientists clues about organisms that lived long ago and helps them investigate how life on Earth has changed over time. The Evidence from Fossils Mini Book Set is a Grade 3 science resource focused on fossils and the evidence they provide about the history of life.

Explore Fossils Through Science

Fossils provide evidence of organisms from the past. Exploring this topic introduces students to the role of scientific evidence in understanding ancient life and making sense of changes across Earth's history. This mini book set provides a focused resource for introducing or revisiting fossil evidence in an elementary science lesson.

How to Use This Resource

Use the fossil mini books as part of a Grade 3 science unit, a lesson on evidence from the past, or an independent reading and review activity. Teachers can incorporate the set when introducing fossils, reinforcing a lesson, or providing students with an additional opportunity to explore the topic.

The mini book format also offers a practical option for classroom science resources that students can revisit as they develop their understanding of fossil evidence.

Curriculum Reference

The supplied curriculum reference identifies the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), 2013, performance expectation 3-LS4-1. Teachers can consider this reference when planning their Grade 3 science instruction. The specific activities and content of the resource should be reviewed alongside local curriculum requirements.
