9-11 ES3B Geologic time can be
estimated by several
methods (e.g., counting tree
rings, observing
rock sequences, using fossils to
correlate
sequences at various locations,
and using
the known decay rates of
radioactive
isotopes present in rocks to measure the
time
since the rock was formed).
|
Research/presentations/notes
|
none
|
Explain how decay rates of radioactive
materials in rock layers are used
to establish
the timing of geologic events. *a
Given a geologic event, explain
multiple
methods that could be used to
establish the
timing of
that event.

LS3D The fossil record and anatomical and molecular similarities
observed among
diverse
species of living organisms provide evidence of
biological evolution

Elephants:
Pages 325-328 p/p 1-7
On separate paper

Complete Evaluate
|
Using the fossil record
and anatomical and/or
molecular (DNA) similarities as evidence,
formulate a logical argument for
biological
evolution as an explanation for the
development
of a representative species (e.g.,
birds, horses,
elephants, whales).

9-11 ES1A Stars have ―life
cycles.‖ During most of their
―lives‖, stars produce heavier elements
from
lighter elements starting with the fusion of
hydrogen to form helium.
The heaviest
elements are formed when massive stars ―die‖
in
massive explosions.
|
None - turn in notebook
|
Connect the life cycles of
stars to the
production of elements through
the process
of
nuclear fusion.
