Thursday & Friday (6/1 & 6/2) is the first day of our short evolution unit. The evolution unit is only 5 classes and will consist of evolutions "greatest hits" since we wish there was more time! Students took some short lecture notes about the fossil record and relative dating. Then, students simulated being a paleontologist and discovered & made sense out of some fossils. See pictures below for some great paleontology work!
After the "Fossil Find" activity, students did the "Who's on First" activity to look at layers of rock and understand how relative dating helps us understand the general age of a fossil.
There is no large test or project for the evolution unit, so as long as students are in class and participate in the activity each day, they will get credit for their classwork.
