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?

Schools are being forced to embrace computers. unlike their "digital immigrant" teachers, these students are "digital natives", born into a world where technology is an integral part of everyday life. almost every student has access to a multitude of computers, laptops and tablet devices. it would be crazy to assume an assignment would  notbe written on computer in this day and age.many schools now have a 1-to-1 computer policy, and many districts and states in the united states have mandated computers or ipads across the state for every student,  including los angeles, the second largest school district in the country.but the thing is, when they tried it in la, it wasn't the success they hoped for. that's because the tablets weren't used as much as they expected. rather, it appeared there was a gap between the digital native's love of technology and their use of it in the classroom.this conflicted relationship with computers is also underscored by much of the literature on education. it is also highlighted in professional development and conferences such as  edutech.
