Description

For years I've been trying to use and modify the rock correlation labs from the state and still my students struggled. I finally sat down and created one that, though similar to those out there, is more straightforward and comprehensive.

This lab does aligns with NYS standards but can be used in any classroom teaching about Geologic History and the rock record.

Full lab with inclusive modifications/suggestions to differentiate for learners.

Teacher Notes:

There are 9 outcrops given. The top 6 outcrops will complete the entire rock record.

The bottom 3 will fully overlap other outcrops and are there as supplemental material

There are two outlines given to paste the rock outcrops, one with appropriate layer thickness and one completely blank but to scale.

I hope you and your students enjoy this!

I did really like this lab and having to correlate multiple outcrops into one. My only wish was that it was editable. I had to retype the majority because I manipulated it to meet the needs of all my students. Thanks for creating this!!

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

NGSSMS-ESS2-3

Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions. Examples of data include similarities of rock and fossil types on different continents, the shapes of the continents (including continental shelves), and the locations of ocean structures (such as ridges, fracture zones, and trenches). Paleomagnetic anomalies in oceanic and continental crust are not assessed.

NGSSHS-ESS2-3

Develop a model based on evidence of Earth’s interior to describe the cycling of matter by thermal convection. Emphasis is on both a one-dimensional model of Earth, with radial layers determined by density, and a three-dimensional model, which is controlled by mantle convection and the resulting plate tectonics. Examples of evidence include maps of Earth’s three-dimensional structure obtained from seismic waves, records of the rate of change of Earth’s magnetic field (as constraints on convection in the outer core), and identification of the composition of Earth’s layers from high-pressure laboratory experiments.
