Fossil Casting Activity Kit - Classroom Edition for Science Education

Your students are not just studying fossils - they are making them. This award-winning Fossil Casting Activity Kit Classroom Edition turns earth science into active discovery by giving students everything they need to cast, finish, and study their own full-size fossil reproductions. As they work through the process, they are living the role of a paleontologist - and the fossil they produce is one they made themselves, which means they will remember it.

This hands-on paleontology casting kit for students includes 6 high-quality reusable rubber molds - ammonite, crinoid, trilobite, cave bear tooth, shark tooth, and dinosaur claw - along with 2 bags of PerfectCast casting material, educational material on each fossil species, and a variety of informative and interactive exercises. The easy-to-use lesson plans and high-quality manipulatives provide everything needed for a high-interest scientific learning center. Students relish the role of paleontologist as they reproduce authentic, full-size fossil replicas from start to finish.
