How Do Fossils Form | Evolution | Biology | FuseSchool
Fossils are the preserved remains of an animal or plant in a rock. Many of the fossils discovered so far are the ancestors of organisms that are alive today. The study of fossils is called paleontology.
Much of what we understand about evolution comes from studying fossils.
When organisms die, their remains usually break down into nothing. Very occasionally, the right conditions occur and fossils are created. There are different methods in which fossils form. One of these is for a dead organisms to quickly become trapped and buried in sediment. Minerals cause the non-decomposed remains to crytsalise in the process of permineralisation. Another method in which fossils can be created is by the organisms being covered in a non-porous coating such as tree sap (think of amber).

Algebraic fractions are simply fractions with algebraic expressions either on the top, bottom or both. We treat them in the same way as we would numerical fractions.
In this video we look at how to simplify algebraic fractions, and how to add and subtract them.

The word polygon comes from Greek. Poly means “many” and Gon means “angles”. Polygon = many angles. Polygons are 2-dimensional shapes, that are made of straight lines, with all the sides joined up.

In algebra we have lots of different names for different things: expressions, equations, formulae and identities are all slightly different versions of similar things. Then within these, we have variables, constants, coefficients and exponents to describe the different parts. We also need to know wh
