I have reviewed my child’s activities and
homework for the week of 2/11/- 2/15/08.
I understand that a new unit of study has begun
and no work form previous units will be
accepted.
I understand that is important for me to make
sure that my child is studying to be prepared
for the Quiz on Tuesday 2/19/08, and has
completed all assignments this week.
I understand that Monday 2/18/08 is President’s
Day Holiday.
I understand if my child needs to retake a quiz
that the original quiz with corrected answers,
signed by a parent, must be turned in when the
quiz is retaken on Wednesday at lunch or
Tuesday/Thursday after school.

Wednesday – Use terms to complete passage: periods, K-T boundary, eras, Cambrian explosion,
geologic time scale
Scientists measure Earth’s geological and biological events using the _____________________ ,
which is divided into ___________________ and _____________________. The
___________________________ is the name of a period of rapid change during which the
ancestors of most animal groups emerged. A layer of soot found between rock layers worldwide, known
as the __________________________, might indicate that a large meteorite collided with Earth.
Thursday/Friday Use terms to complete passage: half-lives, Law of Superposition, paleontologists,
radiometric dating, relative dating, plate tectonics, fossils
The theory of _____________________describes Earth’s surface as large plates that move over
Earth’s thick, liquid interior. These plates are made up of various types of rocks.
_____________________ are scientists who study _____________________. They determine the
relative age of rocks using _______________________, which compares the sequence of rock
layers. The ___________________________states that younger rock layers are deposited on top
of older rock layers. Another method of determining the age of rocks is
_______________________, which
measures the decay of radioactive isotopes. The rate of decay can be measured using
________________________, the amount of time required for half of a radioactive isotope to
decay.

Vocabulary words Matching (10 – 19):
_____ Geologic Time Scale
A. measures the decay of radioactive isotopes to obtain
exact dates of materials
_____ Radioactive (radiometric) dating
B. the study of fossils
_____ Index fossil
C. all individuals of a species are dead
_____ Relative dating
_____ Paleontology
_____ Fossil
_____ Mass Extinction
D. change in a species over time
E. compares the sequence of rock layers
F. affect most major taxonomic groups present at the time

species in a short period of time.
_____ Extinct
G. remains of an organism or its activities
_____ Era
H. forms of life which existed during limited periods of
geologic time and thus are used as guides to the age of
the rocks in which they are preserved
_____ Evolution
