Lesson 4 - Foldable

This document provides definitions for different types of fossils: a body fossil is evidence of an organism but not the actual organism, a cast fossil is an imprint that is fossilized, a mold fossil is an imprint filled with minerals before fossilization, and a trace fossil is an imprint made by an organism. It also asks students to explain how the fossils they made in class represent a trace fossil rather than a body fossil and to list one way fossils provide information about the Earth from millions of years ago.
