Exploration of Geologic Principles Stations - Home
The processes taking place to form stratified sedimentary rock occur slowly and continually over Earth's surface. Investigate these processes that formed rock and fossil alike as you venture through these stations and conduct some scientific research.
Station 1: Link to Fossils Flora and Fauna Descriptions - Scroll down to where it says "Fossil Groups" and read about a particular type! Respond to the questions on your lab sheet.
Station 2: Processes that form Rocks - Read about two different rock forming processes and create a short 4-6 scene cartoon.
Respond to the questions on your lab sheet.
Station 3:Geologic Principles
Link: Geologic Principles
Video: Fossil Rock Anthem
Station 4: Geologic time metaphor calculator link - Set the calculator to 1 year. When did humans appear? Respond to the questions on your lab sheet.
Station 5: Rock forming processes on Mars - How did rocks form on other planets? Respond to the questions on your lab sheet.
Station 6: Geologic Principles - look at the rock samples (hard copy, not online) to determine relative ages of different layers of rock. Respond to the questions on your lab sheet.
Station 7: Radiometric dating. Watch the video as Bill Nye explains Radiometric Dating. Respond to the questions on your lab sheet.
