Product Information

Where did whales come from? Trace the history of whales back to the early Eocene epoch by making inferences from analyzing fossil data. Students find further confirmation of whale ancestry by comparing DNA sequences. An intriguing lesson in evolution, this unique kit also has applications in life science and earth science and furthers student's skills in scientific inquiry. This kit includes a scaled modern whale replica, a scaled modern whale comparison activity and 10 manipulative sets of a colorful Eocene timeline and drawings of six primitive or ancestral whales. Developed by Larry Flammer, this kit is aligned with National Standards. Includes instructions and materials for 10 student groups. Grades 6–9.

Becoming whales
Reviewed By:  Kirsten
I love this activity and have taught it several times using the materials that are available online. I purchased the kit because I wanted the sturdy reusable pictures of ancestral whales and the colorful Eocene timelines. I was very disappointed with how small the drawings of the ancestral whales are. The drawings available free online are much bigger and students can see the characteristics much more clearly. If I had known how small these pieces are, I would not have purchased the kit.
