LTLT:  I can identify and analyze data to describe how major geologic events have changed  organisms over time. LT: I can identify types of fossils in order to explain how fossils provide evidence for  changes in plants and animals over time. Criteria for Success: n  I can explain how each type of fossil is formed. n  I can explain how fossils provide evidence for change over time. Agenda: 1. Warm up 2. Table Talk 3. Share Outs 4. Fossil Notes & Pwr. Pt. 5. Collaborative Practice 6. Independent Practice (turn in) 7. Exit Ticket (turn in)    Warm up: What is geology? Review LTLT, LT & CS Q: How could you fossilize your hamster??? *Take a guess! -Make a list of what would need to happen   Table Talk Talk with your table group, pick the 3 best things, write them down on sticky notes *Use stick jar, to call on a student representative from each table. Share Outs Share with the class, as you come up and paste them onto the board Title: How could you fossilize your hamster?? **Read excerpt from Hamster book    Fossil Notes & Power Point Collaborative Practice Independent Practice ------------ Ext: Making Fossils *With plaster and molds Ratio- 2:1   Exit Ticket: ***If we COULD fossilize a hamster…What kind of fossil would it be and why? Write on a sticky note with your name on it, stick it on the door on your way out. Ex: it would be a trace fossil because….    Fossils Note Taking Guide LT: I can identify types of fossils in order to explain how fossils provide      evidence for changes over time -Fossils are preserved remains or traces of ______________________ -Paleontologists are scientists who study _________________________ -Most fossils form when living things die and are buried ___________ __________________________________________________________ -The sediments slowly harden into rock and preserve the shapes ________ _____________________________________________________________ What do fossils tell us? -Fossils provide evidence of how life has changed ________________________ -Fossils are clues to what past environments __________ ________________________________________________________ Fossil Types Notecatcher 1.

If you could choose one type of fossil to study, which fossil would you choose? Why? ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ 2. How are fossils formed?   __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ 3. If we were to use molds and plaster to “create” fossils, what type of fossil would they be called, and why? ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 4. Why do we find seashells in the Colorado Mountains? _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ 5. How is a preserved fossil different than a petrified fossil? ________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________ 6. What do you think fossils can tell us about Earth’s history? ________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________   COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE (Glue this sheet into your notebook) LT: I can identify types of fossils in order to explain how fossils provide evidence for changes over time Directions: View the pictures of fossils below and label them based on their type.  Label the questions, PETRIFIED, TRACE, BODY/PRESERVED or MOLD/CAST 1.     _______________________________________________________ Insects fully preserved in amber 2.     ____________________________________________________________ Footprints of an ancient mammal 3.     __________________________________________________________ Minerals replaced the bones to form this fossil 4.     ______________________________________________________ These fossils were formed by the organism making a copy of its shape into the sediment.
