Give your earth science students a focused look at combining dating methods with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "If a layer of rock contains fossils, what dating technique is best used?", "Why might a geologist use dendrochronology?", and "Which principle states that sedimentary layers are deposited in horizontal layers?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a standards aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers How Fossils Form, Fossil Preservation Types, Stratigraphic Principles, Cross Cutting and Index, Radioactive Decay as Time, and Relative and Absolute Dating, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 9-12 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to Virginia SOL standard ES.9c.
