Welcome to our Teachers page here you will find lesson plans to help teach students about
fossils, Earth science and oceanography. Please feel free to print these out and
use them in your class room.
You will also find a link to purchase material to help you teach these classes. You will find books and posters on fossils as well as the fossil and modern shark teeth and Jaws. The modern Jaws and teeth we sell are a by product of the fishing industry and would be normally a wasted product. We do not kill sharks or any other animal solely for the purpose of their jaws and teeth.
The student will understand how Earth has changed over a long period of time as well as how scientists developed a theory using fossil evidence.
Earth is believed to be approximately 4.6 billion years old. The first life was in the form of bacteria, appeared on Earth approximately 3.6 billion years ago. Primitive organisms inhabited Earth long before more advanced ones, such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals.
