- Students use sketches of rock layers in the earth to decide which happened first and evidence to support their choices.
- Using the fold/fault lab, students observe rock sequences to determine oldest and youngest rock layers on the block diagrams they have constructed.
- Students construct a large chart that shows the major breaks in geologic time by name and by the predominant plants and animals present during that point in time.
