Give your earth science students a focused look at cross cutting and index 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 "What is the primary purpose of using index fossils in geology?", "How can fossils be used to infer past environmental conditions?", and "What type of evidence do paleontologists primarily rely on to correlate rock layers?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a standards aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers How Fossils Form, Fossil Preservation Types, Stratigraphic Principles, Radioactive Decay as Time, Relative and Absolute Dating, and Combining Dating Methods, 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.9b.
