What educators are saying
Great visual activity to teach and reinforce the geologic principles and for ENL students, the visuals are extremely important. The translation feature is helpful too. The did not have to use their devices to translate each slide. Extremely satisfied.

Description
This bundle covers everything your students need to know about Geologic History for the New York State (NYS) Regents exam. It includes guided notes with practice questions, teacher presentations, and 3 digital and interactive lab activities. The students will learn about relative and absolute dating, index fossils, the correlation of rock layers, and the geologic time scale. They will also learn how to read and use pages 1, 2, 3, 8, and 9 of the Earth Science References Tables (ESRT) as well as practice answering Regents questions.

What's included?
- Geologic History Unit Notes and Workbooks | Editable
- Student Guided Notes & Workbook: 40 pages of notes with practice questions to share with your students (printed or digital).
- Teacher Presentations: 138 annotated Google Slides™ that go along the workbook.
- Teacher Notes: 4 pages with a pacing guide.
- Relative Dating | Digital Lab Activity
- Correlation of Rock Layers | Digital Lab Activity

- Review - Geologic History of New York State | ESRT pages 8 & 9
What students do:
- Relative Dating:
- Explain the principles of relative dating.
- Explain how geologic events such as faulting, intrusions, contact metamorphism, and unconformities can be used to determine relative time.
- Interpret geologic profiles.
- Absolute Dating:
- Calculate the half-life of radioactive isotopes.
- Use page #1 of the ESRT to determine radioactive decay data.
- Analyze and interpret radioactive decay curves.
- Geologic Time Scale:
- Explain the differences in each of the major geologic areas.
- Know how to use the Geologic History of New York State chart on pages 8 and 9 of the ESRT.
- Use pages 2, 3, 8, and 9 of the ESRT to find index fossils and rocks in different areas of New York State.
- Correlation of Rock Layers:
- Define index fossils and geologic time markers.
- Explain how index fossils and volcanic ash layers are used to correlate rock layers.
- Be able to correlate rock layers.
Digital Lab Activities: These lab activities were created with Google Slides™. They can be used in person or for distance learning. Share the Google Slides with your students via your Google Classroom™. Select “Make a Copy for Each Student” while creating the assignment.
ESL Strategies:
- The guided notes are scaffolded for English Language Learners (ELLs). They contain many visuals and include minimal note-taking to allow more time to practice questions.
- The lab activities are also scaffolded for ELLs:
- Each slide contains a “Translate” hyperlink button to translate the text into any language supported by Google Translate.
- They include sentence starters to help ELLs structure their answers. The slides are editable so you can remove the sentence starters if your students don’t need them.
Editable: You can edit the Google Docs™ and Google Slides™.

Standards

CCSSRST.9-10.3
Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks, attending to special cases or exceptions defined in the text.
CCSSRST.9-10.4
Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 9–10 texts and topics.
CCSSRST.9-10.5
Analyze the structure of the relationships among concepts in a text, including relationships among key terms (e.g., force, friction, reaction force, energy).
CCSSRST.9-10.7
Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words.
NGSSMS-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. 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 does not include recalling the names of specific periods or epochs and events within them.
