Today students completed an activity called "Who Dunit". This activity helps students understand the concept of relative age and the law of superposition. It starts off with students having to solve a crime scene mystery by looking at different tracks from cars and foot prints. Then it leads into students using the same principles of solving the crime scene mystery and relating that to solving the mystery of dating rocks. See below for the link to this activity. Students also took their vocabulary quiz on the first set of vocab words for this unit. This week's new set of vocab words were also given out, see below for this list. We will be working on dating rocks all week with several different activities planned. More on that later....
