Common Core Curriculum Map 2015-2016 Common Core Unit Name: Earth History Unit Number: 4 Enduring Understanding: 8.E.2 Understand the history of Earth and its life forms based on evidence of change recorded in fossils records and landforms. Standard Essential Questions Pacing Guideline 8.E.2. 8.E.2.1 26 Days Infer the age of Earth and relative age of What are fossils? rocks and fossils from index fossils and How do fossils form? ordering of rock layers (relative dating and What type of rock are fossils found? radioactive dating). How are fossils used to date Earth's history? How do scientists use index fossils to date geologic history? What is the Law of Superposition? How can rock data show geologic evolution? What is radioactive dating and what type of rocks can be dated using it? 1 Common Core Curriculum Map 2015-2016 8.E.2.2 Explain the use of fossils, ice cores, composition of sedimentary rocks, faults,and igneous rock formations found in rock layers as evidence of the history of the Earth and its changing life forms. 8.E2.2 Absolute age Amphibian Atom element Cambrian Carbon film Cast Crust Deposition Eon Epoch Era Erosion Evolution Extinct Extinction (extinct) Extrusion Fault Folding Fossil Geologic time scale Geology Half-life Ice core Igneous rock Index fossil Intrusion Invertebrate Lava How are ice cores used to discover Earth's history? How are ice cores used to understand major climate events? How can rocks, fossils and ice core data show major climatic changes and major catastrophic events? What is the geologic time scale? How can scientists use the geologic time scale to show how Earth has changed over time? What evidence supports the fact that Earth's constant changing has lead to major geologic events such as Ice Ages, volcanic activity and continental drift? Essential Vocabulary Law of superposition Lithosphere Magma Mammal Mass extinction Metamorphic rock Mid-ocean ridge Mold Paleontologist Period Petrified fossil Precambrian Radioactive dating Relative age Reptile Rock cycle Sea floor spreading Sediment Sedimentary rock Tectonic plates Trace fossil Unconformity Uplift Vertebrate Volcano 2 Common Core Curriculum Map 2015-2016 3
