2. What will you learn today? What is the Jurassic Coast and how did it form? What is the Rock Cycle? How do Fossils form? What can Fossils tell us about the past? Activities and ideas for EYFS, KS1 and KS2

3. World Heritage Convention 1972 IDENTIFY PROTECT PRESERVE Temple of Abu Simbel moved during flooding of Aswan Dam, Egypt, 1972

4. Stonehenge, UK Pyramids, EgyptGreat Barrier Reef, Australia Great Wall, China

5. World Heritage Sites all have Outstanding Universal Value Something that is so precious that it must be preserved and protected For now and for the Future For all of Humanity

6. What is a World Heritage Site? 1031 natural (197) and cultural (802) sites around the world have been included on the UNESCO* World Heritage List Together they form a common heritage of humankind Their protection is our shared responsibility These are the ideas on which the World Heritage Convention is based. *United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation

7. The Jurassic Coast was given World Heritage Status in 2001 and was England’s first natural World Heritage Site. Offers a unique geological exposure along 95 miles of coast

8. Lets take a quick look at the Jurassic Coast Jurassic Coast Spot the coastal feature…

9. 95 miles of World Heritage Site Exmouth to Studland Bay – 155km (95 miles) Gateway towns excluded from WHS boundary 3 geological periods – 185 million years of time

10. A narrow strip of coast between break in slope and mean low water mark Offshore boundary follows Mean Low Water Mark Car Park and developed area excluded from site, WHS boundary follows SSSI Landward boundary follows break of slope at top of cliffs GATEWAY TOWN

11. Lets look deeper…. What’s inside our Earth?

12. Plate Tectonics The plates shift around causing earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes

13. The rock cycle http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks3/science/images/rock_cycle.gif

14. Sandstone

15. Made up of squished together grains of rock Thin section

16. Full of life Barren, no life

18. Lets make the Jurassic Coast out of Play dough!

19. TURN YOUR 3 PIECES OF PLAYDOUGH INTO 4 (They might not be in these exact colours ) TRIASSIC 250 million years ago JURASSIC 200 million years ago CRETACEOUS 145 million years ago UPPER CRETACEOUS 100 million years ago

20. Break up your TRIASSIC ROCK into pieces. This is EROSION!

21. Now squish your bits of rock together, this is DEPOSITION

22. Triassic Deserts © Mike Benton/Bristol University

23. Now, break up your JURASSIC ROCK into pieces.

24. Now squish your bits of JURASSIC rocks on top of your TRIASSIC rocks. This is DEPOSITION! See your ROCK LAYERS form!

25. Jurassic Seas © John Sibbick

26. Do the same with your CRETACEOUS rocks

27. Cretaceous shallow seas © Dorset County Council

28. You now have the 3 rock layers of the Jurassic Coast! CRETACEOUS JURASSIC TRIASSIC

29. The rocks were laid down in a gently subsiding basin Lower Cretaceous – 100 to 144my Jurassic – 144 to 200my Triassic – 200 to 250my WestEast

30. The rocks were then tilted to the east and faulted (not shown) WestEast TILT YOUR ROCK LAYERS!

31. The rocks were then tilted to the east and faulted (not shown) WestEast

32. The rocks were then tilted to the east and faulted (not shown) WestEast

33. Push your rock layers over so they tilt to one side

34. They then became exposed to erosion which was greatest in the west WestEast CUT THEM LEVEL (EROSION)

35. Erode your layers by slicing them with the stick

36. The remaining Cretaceous rocks were then deposited on the eroded surface WestEast NOW PUT ON YOUR FINAL LAYER (Upper Cretaceous) DEPOSITION

37. Break up your UPPER CRETACEOUS rock and squish them gently on top of your rock layers

38. Here is a model of your Jurassic Coast. 185 million years of Earth’s History from one end to the other! OLDEST (250 MILLION YRS OLD) YOUNGEST (65 MILLION YEARS OLD) TRIASSIC JURASSIC CRETACEOUS UPPER CRETACEOUS Unconformity

39. Here is a model of your Jurassic Coast. 185 million years of Earth’s History from one end to the other! OLDEST (250 MILLION YRS OLD) YOUNGEST (65 MILLION YEARS OLD) TRIASSIC JURASSIC CRETACEOUS UPPER CRETACEOUS Unconformity

40. WestEast And therefore a walk along the coast is a walk through time

42. EYFS/KS1 Resources 10 Free activities adapted for EYFS/KS1 from our KS2 resources Fossil Hunter Lottie Doll: Perfect for storytelling, role play, boys and girls Download files from Lottie.com and soon on jurassiccoast.orgLottie.comjurassiccoast.org In partnership with

43. Fantastic Fossils Fossils are the remains of once living animals or plants. People have been finding fossils in rocks for thousands of years, but until quite recently they didn't understand what they were. Today we recognise that the fossils we find in rocks represent the ancestors of the animals and plants that are alive today.

44. How do Fossils form? Can you put the story about my life in the right order? KS2 Science, Geography, English EYFS/KS1 adapted activity herehere

45. Insects Fossil wood The fossils record virtually a third of the record of life Marine reptiles Fish Turtles & crocodiles Trace fossils Fossil Forest Dinosaurs (footprints)

46. Stories in Stone Part of a trackway recording Iguanodon and Megalosaur footprints The dinosaur making the track initially turned to the left before hesitating, and then after adjusting the position of its feet, resumed the original direction. A unique moment of indecision recorded from 140 million years ago!
