Grade 8: Week of November 7th to 11th

We will continue to compare absolute and relative dating of rocks with a Venn Diagram and student inquiries. During our study of relative dating, students will learn about the Laws of Superposition, Uniformitarianism, Horizonality, Cross-cutting relationships, and unconformities in rocks. We will examine the Grand Canyon, Stawamus Chief, and faults for these laws. So that students understand the different rocks in geologic sections and are able to make their own geologic section, we must review concepts from previous grades such as weathering and erosion, and the rock cycle. I will post grade 8 homework as the week progresses. There is no school on Friday.
