Help your students build real understanding of virginia fossils across time through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "What role do index fossils play in understanding Virginia's geological history?", "Which fossil type is most indicative of the Triassic period in Virginia?", and "How do fossils contribute to our understanding of evolutionary biology in Virginia?"
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.9d.
