Monday and Wednesday Period 2,4, and 9.
Tuesday and Thursday Period 3, 5, and 10.
Friday all classes
Day 1 - Start with a skyward review of relative dating (3). Look specifically at common Illinois fossils that are displayed in the back of the room with slide show presentation. Review seven geological principles and discuss when it does not work. Penny/ M & M demonstration on radioactive decay with spreadsheet graphing. If time we will look at Nuclear Half Life: Calculations video on my geology web page.We will end with a single radioactive decay word problem on skyward. Homework is five multiple choice radioactive decay questions. This is due Friday.
Day 2 - Start with a radioactive decay problem on Skyward. We will review the common Illinois fossils and the process of identifying fossils. We will attempt to reconstruct the history of the land on a visible geology diagram. We will complete practise radioactive decay (absolute dating) problems. Time remaining in class will be used to complete homework due on Friday. Also quiz on Friday!
Friday - Quiz on relative and absolute dating. We will work on identifying the common Illinois fossils plus our minerals and rocks!!! We will look at what all this information synthesis means to our world today. Homework reading with questions, due next week.
MS-ESS1-4.Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth's 4.6-billion-year-old history.
MS-ESS2-2.Construct an explanation based on evidence for how geoscience processes have changed Earth's surface at varying time and spatial scales.
MS-ESS2-3.Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions.
