Horsin' Around with Evolution
Prepare to time-travel — back 60 million years! Students will play paleontologist as they investigate the evolution of the horse — examining 3D fossil replicas like skulls, teeth, and hooves to uncover how a small creature evolved into the big, strong horses we know today. Then they will analyze plant fossils and build a timeline to construct evidence-based arguments about the environmental changes that drove this transformation. Ready to dig into the past?
