Hello everyone! This week we have hit the ground running with our Earth History Unit. The past couple of days in class we have spent time taking notes on fossils, relative age, absolute age, and dating rocks and fossils. Today we started working on a stations activity where students will read about different ways to date rocks and fossils and answer some questions about each reading at the station. At their tables, students were given time to read quietly and then participate in a Round Robin style conversation about how to answer the questions. Students were directed to come up with an agreed upon consensus of what the answer to each question was and write that on their paper. All of my students did a fabulous job with that activity and I am looking forward to finishing that up tomorrow in class. Below you will find a link to the powerpoint presentation I am using for this unit as well as the fill-in-the-blank notes we have used so far.
Don't forget that your vocabulary words are due MONDAY 10/27/14 and you will be having a quiz over these words that day! Have a wonderful evening. Tomorrow is FRIDAY!! YAY! Earth History PowerPoint Part 1 - Fossils and Relative Age student notes Part 2 - Absolute Age student notes
