Unit 4 Geologic History & Evolution of Life Unit Plan
The Earth's geologic history tells a story about the inception of life and the rise and fall of species, showing life is fragile in the face of gradual and sudden changes to the environment. In this unit, students will learn how rock and fossil observations in combination with radioactive dating techniques have been used to construct a geologic time scale.

Unit 4 Modeling Stratigraphic Columns Lab
Students model formation of sedimentary rock layers using various types of sediment. Students then model deformation of rock layers using clay.

Unit 4 Stratigraphy 5E Instructional Model Plan
In this 5E sequence students create their own models of sedimentary rock layers using various mixtures of sediment, then model folding and faulting in rock layers using clay. Students use the experience of modeling rock layers to develop an understanding of basic geologic principles. Their thinking is then extended by engaging in an activity in which they correlate rock layers based on composition and fossil evidence.
