The Week Ahead in Earth Science: March 16-20

Monday begins the week with the Geology Unit Test.
• On Tuesday Paleontology Vocab is due and the Geologic Time Quiz will be assigned. This self-paced quiz will help students learn the major eras and periods of geologic time. Students will have several weeks to take and retake this quiz as needed for success. Ten types of fossils will be shown and discussed during the hour as well.
Wednesday will be the last day for the warm-up Periodic Tables. These will be collected and graded. Students will be analyzing fossils in a lab and making scientific inferences about them.
• Part I of Paul Sereno's "SuperCroc" special will be shown on Thursday. Students will be asked to identify scientific inferences that appear in the film.
• The Halite Crystal Project is due on Friday. Crystals that qualify for the bonus contest will be inspected and weighed to find the class champions and the grand champion.
