Coffee Ground "Fossils"
Create your own fossils to display.
These would work as visual aids for
Science Projects.
What You Need:
1
cup of used coffee grounds
1/2 cup of cold coffee
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of salt
Wax paper
Mixing bowl
Some small objects to make impressions
in the dough
Empty can or a butter knife
Toothpicks, optional
String to hang your fossil, optional
How To Make It
Stir the together the coffee grounds,
cold coffee, flour, and salt until
well mixed.
Knead the dough together and then
flatten it out onto the waxed paper.
Use the can to cut out circles of the
dough or use the dull knife to cut
slabs large enough to fit your
"fossil" objects.
Press your objects firmly into the
dough. When you take the object out,
you have your "fossil". If you want to
hang the fossil, poke holes into the
edge to hold the string.
Let the fossil dry overnight and then
hang it if you wish.
