Together we will create a lab write up for our experiment with crystal growth. If time we will start the experiment. No homework.
Wednesday/ Thursday - Skyward assignment on relative/absolute dating, fossil types, and the 8 common Illinois fossils. We will finish our crystal experiment with an analysis of the data and correctly writing a conclusion sentences. We will start our work with a spreadsheet and data analysis, we will attempt to make an absolute dating chart. We will make a model of mold/ cast fossils with pennies. To end with we will watch a powerpoint presentation on the 8 common Illinois fossils. Homework is a worksheet packet on fossil succession to support evolution, Packet will be due early next week. You will need colored pencils or markers to complete.
Friday - What does this all mean? We will make visual models of what we are trying to understand in class with relative/absolute dating, fossils, and evolution. We will start to look at the rock cycle and see how this functions and helps us tell about the past. Bring markers or colored pencils to class
