Performance Task Rubric

Connections Friday 1-2 volunteers How could you find out more about or interact with fossils or previous life? OR Local current event related to modeling, causes and effects, fossils…

What do we need to understand? What knowledge should we know to understand how animals fossilize/ get buried and left behind? Environments, Grass/Soil, Weather, & Water Cycle Where/why bones are found, what happens to them Where animals live/ normal diet, animals vs. humans Fossil and animal ID and types Graves Time Scale and Dating How/where things die, extinctions/why, & decomposition (what/how long) Preservation (freezing, amber, ash, etc.) Which animals fossilize/how

Do-Now Which person’s theory do you agree with more? Why? Georges Cuvier: Earth's features are mostly accounted for by violent, large-scale events that occurred in a relatively short amount of time. (Catastrophism) James Hutton: The earth is constantly changing and forming and has been for billions of years (Uniformitarianism)

Geology The study of solid Earth, the rocks of which it is composed, and the processes by which they change Law of Original Horizontality Sedimentary rock layers, and large lava flows, are initially deposited in a horizontal or nearly horizontal orientation due to gravity (Figure 4). Therefore if rock layers appear tilted to the horizon we can assume the rocks have been moved into that position by some crustal disturbance sometime after their deposition

Dating rocks Law of Cross-Cutting Relationships: Carbon Dating:  

Dating the Earth How can we date the planets? In between?? Earth 4.543 billion years ago Moon 4.527 bya Milky Way 13.2 bya Mars 4.5 bya In between?? The oldest life? 3.5 bya

Do-Now Describe where you live in as many different ways as possible If you wanted to know more about the people around you, what would you do?

Geography The study of the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of Earth
