Day 1 - Start with review quiz on skyward. Dipping sponges again. Overview of the four pieces of evidence for historical geology; fossils, comparative anatomy, embryology, and DNA. We will look at natural selection of the blue footed booby. Students will be asked to find traits of the blue footed booty that has allowed it to survive and thrive. As a group we will look at the fossil record of the horse. We will review our definitions of evolution and natural selection and look at the art project from last week. Class will be given geologic history timeline assignment. We will be in groups of three and four students. You will be given 26 items to place on a timeline to scale. This assignment will be due on Monday, December 5th. The rubric will be available on my science web page for geology.
Day 2 Skyward review questions. A review sheet will be given for the test on Friday. We will divide into reading groups. Each group will read a short article and collectively create a visual summary to share with the class. Remaining time will be spent on the timeline project. While students are working the BBC series Walking with Dinosaurs will be playing on the front screen. Students will have plenty of time to ask questions about the test on Friday in class. Any questions not covered in class can be emailed to me and I will respond asap.
Friday - Test over Relative dating/ absolute dating and geologic history. Any extra time can be used on the project or starting to memorize the minerals and rocks.
