The students will complete a unit on the "Changes Over Time To Earth's Surface and Resources". In this unit, the students will have to identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time. If environments change so slowly, how can we know what they used to be like? This "​Student Wondering of Phenomena" will assist them with their "Clarification Statement" where they have to use examples of evidence from patterns that could include rock layers with marine shell fossils above rock layers with plant fossils and no shells, indicating a change from land to water over time; and, a canyon with different rock layers in the walls and a river in the bottom, indicating that over time a river cut through the rock. The materials will give my students a first hand look at the changes of Earth's surface overtime.
