Fossil Finders:

Task Review

Your task is to create a media exhibit (of your choice) which displays the natural history of Oakland Park and a compelling argument for leaving the park intact.

The intent of this webquest is to for students to create an accurate picture of our fossil history and to understand how we have determined this history.
