There are 2 label options to choose from. Template 2: Colour the images, arrange the stages of fossilisation in order on the template, glue, cut, and fold. Template 3: Colour the images, write a short description of each stage, glue, cut, and fold. This one could be used as a review if you’ve already covered the fossilisation process. Template 4: Colour the images, match the pictures to the words, arrange them in order on the template, glue, cut, and fold. The templates - ammonite Template 1: Colour the images, cut out and fold. Template 2 : Colour the images, cut out the words and sequence them, glue the words in place, cut and fold.
