student projects

We placed each of our "big events" on a timeline, just like we do with Earth's history.

We made trace fossils, using leaves and Plaster of Paris!

We learned about some principles of relative dating, which allows us to put Earth's events in order.

We evaluated evidence of plate tectonic theory, including the shapes of the continents, fossil evidence, rocks and glacier evidence!

We learned about index fossils, which can help us line up the sedimentary strata all over the world. This can help us put events and living organisms in order based on the concepts of relative dating.

We learned about the different types of tectonic plate boundaries, and what is made at each of them.
