Paleontologist Fact Sheet Activity

Paleontologist fact sheet research activity about famous paleontologists. It includes fact files for eight renowned paleontologists, each with clear and concise information about their:

• Full name
• Date of birth (DOB)
• Place of birth
• Date of death
• Family background and education
• Successful finds
• Contributions to paleontology and what they are famous for
• Other interesting information.

These fact sheets can be used for research purposes. For a fun twist, we have created three versions of the fact files. The first version is a traditional fact file, while the second version deliberately includes three mistakes (sometimes obvious and silly, other times less obvious) for students to spot as they conduct their research. This version also includes checking boxes. Finally, we have created an answer sheet with the mistakes highlighted in red.

Also included is a lower level version with easier to spot mistakes.

This activity is suitable for primary school children and is an engaging way to teach them about paleontologists and their work.
