Fossils

In Science class Jack was learning about fossils. His BJU Homesat teacher, Mrs. Vick, had him make a fossil replica by taking clay (I only had multi-colored clay so the finished product is a bit odd in colors) and pushing a seashell into it and making a mold. Then he mixed up plaster of Paris to pancake better consistency and poured it into the mold he had made and let it dry. When he pulled the clay off, he had a pretty good example of how a fossil is made.
