Give your earth science students a focused look at data interpretation for age with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Sample questions include "How do scientists use tree rings to determine age?", "If a sedimentary rock layer contains fossils dated at 300 million years, which statement is true?", and "Radiometric dating of a rock sample reveals it is 2.5 billion years old. What does this age imply?"
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, 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.
