Naturkunde-Museum Bielefeld, Germany. The Palaeontology Newsletter 102:
27-31.
____
The Naturkunde-Museum Bielefeld is a municipal natural history museum with
a long history. Initially the natural history collections were part of the
Museum der Stadt Bielefeld (Museum of the city of Bielefeld), established
on 3rd October 1906, that encompassed a history and a nature department.
These departments were separated and formed independent museums in 1930
(Keiter and Sachs 2018). The Natural History Museum moved into the
Kaselowsky villa where it remained until World War II when the collections
were moved to rural locations in order to protect them from Allied
bombings. After the war, no permanent home could be found for almost 20
years (from 1946 to 1964). During this time, the collection, neglected and
distributed among several attics, suffered heavily. A large number of
specimens was lost.

"Taphonomy: Dead and fossilized": A new board game designed to teach
college undergraduate students about the process of fossilization

Incorporating games in teaching can help students retain material and
become innovative problem solvers through engagement and enjoyment. Here we
describe a new board game, "Taphonomy: Dead and Fossilized," and its use as
an active learning tool (material available at doi: 10.18738/T8/NQV2CU).
The educational objective is to teach the player about taphonomy and
fossilization, while the gameplay objective is to preserve and recover the
best fossil collection. Through competitive gameplay, students learn how
chemical, physical, and environmental factors, as well as physiology and
discovery biases can influence an organism’s preservation and collection
potential. The game is modeled after an Early Jurassic fossil deposit for
scientific accuracy and relevance. The game was incorporated in
undergraduate classroom activities in 20 colleges and universities across
the United States. Survey results show that students and teachers were
overwhelmingly positive about the game, stating that it was fun and helped
them learn or strengthen their knowledge of fossilization. When analyzed
statistically, we find that students’ self-reported learning outcomes and
opinions vary most significantly with college year, major, ethnicity, and
race. White students and geoscience or STEM majors reported the highest
levels of learning and enjoyment, with minorities and non-STEM majors
responding less favorably. We suggest this game is most advantageous for
use in upper-level paleontology classrooms, although it is still beneficial
at lower levels. It is critical to use this game as part of a larger lesson
plan and tailor it to fit the needs of an individual classroom.
Modifications for time and class size, as well as follow-up discussion
questions, are included.
