Geologic Time

CAS 3.1 Complex interrelationships exist between

Earth’s structure and natural processes that over

time are both constructive and destructive

CAS 3.2 Geologic time, history, and changing life

forms are indicated by fossils and successive

sedimentation, folding, faulting, and uplifting of

layers of sedimentary rock

CAS 2.5 Multiple lines of evidence show the

evolution of organisms over geologic time

Step 2

Under your list or on the back make a rough draft of

your ideas. Sketch pictures, add words and start

making connections

Remember this is just a rough draft to get your main

ideas and formatting down. Do not spend a lot of time

on the picture details.

Write the complete standard on the outside of your folder. Pick a visual picture that you could use to sum up this science standard

CAS 3.3 The solar system is comprised of various objects that orbit the Sun and are classified based on their characteristics.

CAS 3.4 The relative positions and motions of Earth, Moon, and Sun can be used to explain observable effects such as seasons, eclipses, and Moon phases.

Step 4: Transfer your ideas onto your

final copy.

Only Use pencil at first to get your

basic design and facts down… then

go back and add color!
