Rock Layers and Fossils
by Anonymous · ⭐ 1 · 🍴 0
Gravel, sand, and mud sink in water to form layers. Newer layers build up on top, 🪨 so deeper layers are older! Tap a layer to see its order. ⛏️ In the Fossil Dig tab, clear the dirt to uncover trilobites, ferns, fish, ammonites, dinosaur footprints, and shells. Discover if they lived in the sea or on land as you fill your guide! 🎯 Try the Challenge to test your knowledge of layer order and habitats. Supports 7 languages.
About this app
Strata and Fossils is an interactive educational app designed to teach elementary science concepts about geological rock layers and fossil excavation. Users can build underwater sediment layers using gravel, sand, and mud to observe how older layers settle at the bottom. The app also features an excavation mode to uncover fossils and an interactive challenge quiz to test knowledge of stratum sequence and prehistoric habitats.
