Group:
Hand Lenses
Resource book
Lab Notebook 54-66
Morning Meeting:
Objective:
Content 01. Index fossils can be used as indicators for
the age of a sedimentary rock layer.
Content 02. Fossil evidence supports the law of fossil
succession: the kinds of animals and plants found as
fossils change over geological time.
Class:
Set of fossil specimens
Transparency 35-38
Investigate. Use index fossils to correlate rock layers in
Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Parks.
Explain. Use index fossils as evidence for correlating
and determining relative age of rock layers at different
locations.

Embryonic Development
Math 7: Building Expressions, Chapter Closure
1. Homework Due: 105-116
2. Objective: Test
3. Homework: None
Objective:
Content 01. The chorion, or eggshell, surrounds and
protects the embryo.
Class:

Petri Dishes
Pipette
Microscopes
Science Binder
Paper
Content 02. The embryo consists of one cell that looks
like half of a clear bubble, which is attached to a large
amount of yolk—the food for the developing embryo.
Content 03. A head with eyes, a body, and a tail with
visible segments called somites that will develop into
various structures including the backbone and muscles.
Content 04. The embryo continues to grow and
differentiate, adding pigmentation spots and filling the
entire chorion
Content 05. Prior to hatching, the embryo must
develop all of the organs and other structures that it
will need to live on its own.
Content 06. At the end of embryonic development,
most of the yolk has been consumed, although a small
amount remains and will quickly be absorbed by the
hatchling to provide energy for swimming.
Investigate. Observe and record, with drawings, the
various stages of zebrafish embryonic development.
Explain. Each drawing will be labeled with the following
parts:
1. Time
2. Number of cells
3. Yolk
4. Chorion
5. Somites
6. Identifiable parts of developing zebrafish
