Station 1:
Use the cards to identify the different
types of fossils. Use your textbook to
compare the pictures if you are unsure.

Station 2:
1. Copy the following notes to your paper, and Label them
“Conformity.”
 The geological record is not complete because most of
the record has been lost to erosion.
 Gap in geologic record and folding can change the
position in which rock layers appear.
 When rock layers erode away, an older rock surface may
be exposed. Then deposition begins again, building new
rock layers.
 An Unconformity is a gap in the geologic time record. It
shows were rock layers have been lost due to erosion.
2. Draw and label figure 5 on your paper.

Station 3:
1. Copy the following notes to your paper, and
Label them “Folding.”
 Forces inside Earth can fold rock layers so
much that the layers are turned over
completely. In this case, the youngest rock
layers may be on the bottom.
2. Complete the worksheet on your notebook
paper.

Station 4:
1. Label a section on your notebook paper “radio
active.”
2. Read pgs. 311-315 Round Robin in your
group.
3. Complete the true/false cards together. Write
down the true statements, and write the
corrected false statements. (For false
statements, the correct word will be written
on the back of the paper.)

Station 5:
1. Label a section on your notebook paper
“intrusive/extrusive rocks.” Copy the following
notes.
 Geologists analyze extrusions, intrusions, faults,
and index fossils to determine the relative ages of
rocks.
 The law of superposition says that a layer is
younger than the layers below it.
 The extrusion is always younger because
extrusions are always younger than the rock layers
below them.
2. Draw and label the “Apply It” on pg. 306.

Station 6:
1. Watch the Brain Pop titled “Geologic Time.” Do
this twice, with the closed caption on.
2. Write and answer the following questions:
A. What do scientist use to identify the Earth’s
history?
B. What is the geologic time scale?
C. What is the difference between an era and a
period?
D. What was the longest time period in
Geological history?
