Usable Tomorrow

NGSS standard In this project, you will act as a paleontologist and a geologist. Your goal is to design an experiment that simulates how sedimentary layers (strata) form over time and how the "fossils" trapped within them provide a chronological map of Earth’s history. The ChallengeUsing materials from your kitchen or yard, you will create a "simulated dig site." You will then analyze how the depth of a fossil relates to its relative age and use your findings to predict where future fossils m

NGSS standard HS-ESS3-4 asks for modeling, and higher level modeling includes "systems thinking!" Includes step by step guide and rubric for: Project Goal Design, model, and propose an innovative solution that reduces human impact on the environment. Include a model that explains how your solution works and why it is effective.
