TRIGGER!
Trigger! is a party game testing your reaction and coordination abilities. The game is
easy to learn and provides a vivid atmosphere with lots of laughter.
To prepare the game, a plastic disk is placed in the center of the
table and each player marks one of his hands "true" and the other
"false" (or one can say that the right hand is "true" and the left hand
is "false").
In a turn, a question is read out loud and all the players have to
answer with "true" or "false" as fast as possible, using their hands.
For instance, if the answer is "true", one places his right hand on the
plastic disk, as such creating a pile of hands on top of the disk.
Please mind that the answer to the question might vary as to who the question is referring to.. Mind that
once you've put your hand, you cannot change your answer.
Once all players have answered the question, i.e. have placed one of
their hands on the pile of hands, scoring begins. The upper hand scores
+1 point if its answer is correct or -1 point if its answer is
incorrect. The second hand (from the top) will score +2 if its answer is
correct or -2 if its answer is incorrect, and so on. For instance, in a
8 player game, the lower hand (on the plastic disk) scores +8 points
for a correct answer or -8 points for an incorrect answer.
Players really have to take risks to improve their score, answering quickly and so having their hand smashed similar to playing "slap Jack."
The game ends as soon as a player has scored a specific number of points, e.g. 30 points in a 8 player game.
We recommend this game for players 8 and up.

by studying fossils. Fossils are the remains of ancient animals and
plants, the traces or impressions of living things from past geologic
ages, or the traces of their activities. Fossils have been found on every continenet on earth and maybe even your neighborhood!
from sedimentary rock
.
Sedimentary rock is rock that has formed from sediment, like sand, mud,
small pieces of rocks. Over long periods of time, these small pieces of
debris are compressed (squeezed) as they are buried under more and more
layers of sediment that piles up on top of it. Eventually, they are
compressed into sedimentary rock. The layers that are farther down in
the Earth are older than the top layers.
doesn't have any bone in it! A fossilized object has the same shape as the original object, but is chemically more like a rock.
