*Science as Inquiry: Students develop the abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry The module is an integrated unit which addresses the following National Science Education Standards: Module written for students in grades 7-10. Major concepts are part of the Denver Earth Science Project's "Paleontology and Dinosaurs" Time by exploring radiometric dating and developing a timeline of Earth's history. Once students begin to grasp "relative" dating, they can extend their knowledge of geologic Sequencing the rock layers will show students how paleontologists use fossils to give relative dates to rock strata. Once they are able to manipulate the cards into the correct sequence, they are asked toĭo a similar sequencing activity using fossil pictures printed on "rock layer" cards. In this activity, students begin a sequencing activity with familiar items letters written onĬards. Time can be an easy concept for students to learn. Time factors of millions andīillions of years is difficult even for adults to comprehend. Teaching about Earth's history is a challenge for all teachers. Scientists about past climates and environments on Earth can be an interesting study for The study of fossils and the exploration of what they tell Although most attention in today's world focuses on dinosaurs and why theyīecame extinct, the world of paleontology includes many other interesting organisms which PALEONTOLOGY, AND in particular the study of dinosaurs, is an exciting topic to people WHO'S ON FIRST?
