MS-ESS1-4 2014 Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth's 4.6-billion-year-old history. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on how analyses of rock formations and the fossils they contain are used to establish relative ages of major events in Earth’s history. Examples of Earth’s major events could range from being very recent (such as the last Ice Age or the earliest fossils of homo sapiens) to very old (such as the formation of Earth or the earliest evidence of life). Examples can include the formation of mountain chains and ocean basins, the evolution or extinction of particular living organisms, or significant volcanic eruptions.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include recalling the names of specific periods or epochs and events within them.] MS-ESS1-4: Essential Questions How old is planet earth? What major changes have occurred to earths land formations? How did scientist establish 4.6 billion years? How do geologic events occurring today provide insight Earth’s past? Enduring Understandings Labs, Investigation, and Student Experiences Students will understand that earth is a constantly changing planet, and we can simply look into the past to prepare and understand what can reoccur and the effects it could have on our population as it has had on others. Student Experience: Teacher will pull up a picture of a earth bore and the different layers seen in the grand canyon. Teacher will discuss the lesson prior to the pictures. The students will get the pictures and using visual prompts try to determine specific events in earths history, such as the ice age or a volcanic eruption. Earth’s components form systems. These systems continually interact at different rates of time, affecting the shape of the Earth’s surface regionally and globally.

Evidence for one-celled forms of life, bacteria, extends back more than 3.5 billion years.

Remember the earth is ever changing. Sample Assessments To show evidence of meeting this CPI, students may answer the following questions: · Intelligently discuss the earth’s past using geological examples from the world today Read the following website and have students find the information on what the grand canyon tells us of earths history http://www.rockhounds.com/grand_hikes/geology/overview.shtml Why does New Jersey have so much shale in our soil? (Answer this is where the last glacier from the ice age stopped)
