化石是如何形成的
How Fossils Form
用简单的话解释化石是怎么形成的:生物死亡后被迅速埋在沉积物中;经过数百万年,矿物质替换了遗骸,沉积物变成岩石,保住了原来的形状。
Explain in simple terms how fossils form: an organism dies and is quickly buried in sediment; over millions of years minerals replace the remains and the sediment turns to rock, preserving the shape
学习证据 / Evidence
- 描述基本顺序:生物死亡、被沉积物掩埋、矿物质随着时间慢慢替换遗骸。
- 解释为什么化石很罕见——大多数生物在被掩埋前就已经腐烂了。
- 在解释时正确使用“沉积物”“矿物质”和“岩石”这些词。
- Describe the basic sequence: organism dies, buried in sediment, minerals replace remains over time
- Explain why fossilisation is rare — most organisms decompose before being buried
- Use the words 'sediment', 'minerals', and 'rock' correctly when explaining
评估问题 / Assessment
如果{{name}}在学校用盐面团做了一个“化石”,他/她能解释真实的化石在地下经过数百万年是如何形成的吗?
If {{name}} made a salt-dough fossil at school, could they explain how real fossils form underground over millions of years?
