point and adding more pictures of different fossils.

some areas they dont understand.
Elaborate Further / Reflect: Enrichment:
I will ask them more questions or ask them if they saw a fossil remains in reality. I will
also encourage them to visit a museum if they have time and look for a fossil but its
not really compulsory, just for them to appreciate the fossil in reality.
