PRACTICING QUESTIONING
Helping students work together to make sense
of mathematics or science:
"What do others think about what [name] said?"
"Do you agree? Disagree?"
"Does anyone have the same answer but a different way to explain it?"
"Can you convince the rest of us that makes sense?“
Helping students to rely more on themselves to determine
whether something is correct:

"Why do you think that?"

"Why is that true?"

"How did you reach that conclusion?"

"Can you make a model to show that?"

FOSSILS AND
THE LAW OF SUPERPOSITION
Liz LaRosa 5th Grade Science http://www.middleschoolscience.com 2009
This PPT was created with the information from the FOSREC Activity “Who’s
on First?” and “Fossil Inferences” by UEN.
FOSSILS AND SUPERPOSITION

What is a fossil?
The trace or remains of an
organism that lived long ago,
most commonly preserved in
sedimentary rock

What is a superposition?
Younger rocks lie above older
rocks if the layers have not been
disturbed
RELATIVE DATING AND INDEX
FOSSILS

What is relative dating?
◦

Any method of determining whether an event or
object is older or younger than other events or
objects.
What is an index fossil?
A fossil that is found in the rock layers of only one
geologic age and is used to establish the age of the
rock layers.
◦ Is found in rock layers
around the world, ex Trilobites
◦
ACTIVITY # 1
On your desk, you have 8 large colored index
cards with nonsense letters placed on them.
 Your task is to determine what the correct
sequence of the letters are.
 You have two clues:

1.
2.
The card with the letters “C” and “T” is on the
bottom, or the oldest layer
Look for a card that has either a “T” or “C” written
on it for the second layer
This is one possible way to arrange the cards.
Questions:
MD
1.What letter is the oldest?
2.What letter is the youngest?
DXO
3.What letter showed up the most?
4.Which letters only showed up once?
ON
5.Which letters could be index fossils?
6.How did you know which was older: “M”
NB or “X”?
NBU
UA
AGC
CT
ACTIVITY # 2
Flip your eight index cards over
 Arrange the index cards that represent layers of
rock and fossils
 Clues:

1.
2.
3.
The oldest layer has the letter “M” in it
Find a rock layer that has at least one of the fossils
you found in the oldest rock layer
Extinction is forever - once an organism disappears
from the sequence it cannot reappear later
Teacher Note: I replaced the letters with nonsense letters b/c spelling the word “organism” was too easy for my
5th graders
TO THINK ABOUT…
What problems did you run into when trying to
arrange the fossils into the correct sequence?
 Would this have been more difficult if you did not
know which layer was the oldest to start the
activity?
 Which organism is the most complex of all the
fossils and why?
