Description
In this Google Slides™ digital lab activity, the students will correlate different outcrops using the law of superposition. The lab includes a vocabulary page, 9 different stratigraphic columns, and 4 slides of discussion questions. The students will look for patterns in rock layer sequencing, composition, index fossils, and volcanic ash layers to identify relationships between rock outcrops found at different locations and reconstruct stratigraphic columns. This is an interactive lab activity with drag & drop features. The key is included!
ESL Strategies: This lab activity is scaffolded for English Language Learners (ELLs):
- Each slide contains a “Translate” hyperlink button to translate the text into any language supported by Google Translate.

Standards: The level of this lab is perfect for middle school or high school (NYS Earth Science). This lab activity aligns with:
- NGSS MS-ESS1-4: 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.
- New York State Physical Setting/Earth Science Core Curriculum:
- 1.2j (Geologic history can be reconstructed by observing sequences of rock types and fossils to correlate bedrock at various locations.).
- This lab activity contains the following NYS Regents Skills/Content: geologic principles, interpreting stratigraphic columns, index fossils, and correlation.
Editable: You can edit the text and the diagrams; however, the background images aren’t editable due to term-of-use agreements with clip art artists.
Digital: This digital lab activity was created with Google Slide™. It can be used in person or for distance learning. Share the Google Slides with your students via your Google Classroom. Make sure you select “Make a Copy for Each Student” while you are creating the assignment.
