Welcome to my store and thanks for stopping by! I've been teaching in out-of-school settings for over 15 years. From helping children understand wriggling pythons as a zoo education officer (dream job!), to using historical objects as keys to unlock our past, my teaching experience has been far from typical. I'm currently a schools manager for a museum and art gallery, working with hundreds of children of all ages each year.

It is particularly suitable for KS2 science. There is a FULL VIDEO PREVIEW so that you can check the suitability of this resource for your learners before purchasing. The presentation covers a variety of examples including: Why are woolly mammoth bones found in the sea? How can a chipped tooth reveal what a giant megalodon shark ate? Can fossils tell us how animals and plants were connected in a food chain? Full of high-quality images and questions, this slide-show lesson will get your students thinking about what fossils can and can’t tell us about animals from the past. Can I edit this? Parts of the presentation are not editable (pictures and headings). However, you can edit any body text to best suit your learners. 2 spare slides are included at the end in case you wanted to add anything.
