Students
write
a
short
essay
using
relative
age
principles
to
describe
a
fictional
set
of
geologic
events
and
processes
(specified
in
the
exercise)
that
occur
in
a
hypothetical
area.
The
essay
is
used
to
develop
a
geologic
profile,
and
then
it
is
given
to
another
student
who
is
tasked
with
producing
the
correct
geologic
profile
(as
a
quiz),
based
on
the
essay
information.

In
this
activity,
students
are
assigned
a
geologic
profile
based
on
a
set
of
rock
samples
and
are
asked
to
arrange
the
samples
from
oldest
to
youngest.
They
then
identify
each
rock
type
and
record
their
observations
of
what
processes
might
have
formed
it,
what
type
of
sediment
it
is
made
of,
what
sort
of
environment
it
might
have
formed
in,
and
what
agents
of
erosion
or
deposition
might
have
been

In
this
activity,
students
play
the
roles
of
consultants
in
developing
a
geologic
'tour'
south
od
Rochester,
New
York,
near
the
Pennsylvania
border.
They
will
gather
information
on
the
local
rock
types
and
underlying
geology,
examine
an
assemblage
of
fossils
from
the
bedrock
and
from
glacial
erratics,
and
prepare
a
report
detailing
the
geology
with
cross-sections
and
a
timeline
based
on
the

In this activity, students play the roles of "time travel agents" creating an advertisement for a geologic time period which has been assigned to them. They will use the Earth Science Reference Tables (available on the internet) to learn some basic facts about their assigned period. A rubric for assessing student understanding is provided.

In
this
activity,
students
organize
a
set
of
fossils
chronologically
and
learn
to
correlate,
based
on
fossil
evidence,
the
stratigraphy
of
one
location
with
that
of
an
adjacent
location.
Earth

In this activity, students play the roles of time travelers and travel to the Archaean era to learn what early Earth was like during that time. They collect information on the Archaean atmosphere, life forms, and landscape, and write a report that summarizes its characteristics. A scoring rubric for the report is provided.
