Today,
I shall shrink you down to the size of a water droplet. You are in
China Lake. China Lake supplies the drinking water for the town of
Winslow. You need to tell the story of your journey from China Lake-
through the water purification plant-(Kennebec Water District) to the
school's drinking fountain- FROM the school's toilet, to the Kennebec
Sanitary Treatment plant ( sewage plant), into the Kennebec river, up
through the water cycle and back into China Lake. Give details about
each step and what happens to you- and what you might see?
-can be a story OR a cartoon OR a flowchart
-worth a test grade :)

The
Earth has some amazing surface features. How did they get there?
1. Use: http://iweb.jackson.k12.ga.us/cstewart/geology/Home.htmlto define- constructive force and destructive force. Define landform.
2. Your group will be assigned a category of landforms. First, find a picture of the landform. Paste it in a ppt or keynote. Next, go to google earth and take a shot of where it is ( on a map). Finally, Label it with landform type, location and then explain the force that created the landform. Were these forces constructive or destructive? Was the landform made quickly or over time?
Each slide should have two pictures and labels as described above. You should have 12 different landforms= 12 slides( MINIMUM)... PLUS an end slide with the URLs of your sources. YOU MAY DO MORE THAN 12 SLIDES. IF YOU FINISH EARLY YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO MORE!

-overhead ages of earth layers
DATING INDIVIDUAL FOSSILS
Paleontologists use many ways of dating individual fossils in geologic time.
- The oldest method is stratigraphy, studying how deeply a fossil is buried. Dinosaur fossils are usually found in sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock layers (strata) are formed episodically as earth is deposited horizontally over time. Newer layers are formed on top of older layers, pressurizing them into rocks. Paleontologists can estimate the amount of time that has passed since the stratum containing the fossil was formed. Generally, deeper rocks and fossils are older than those found above them.
- Observations of the fluctuations of the Earth's magnetic field, which leaves different magnetic fields in rocks from different geological eras.
- Dating a fossil in terms of approximately how many years old it is can be possible using radioisotope-dating
of igneous rocks found near the fossil. Unstable radioactive isotopes
of elements, such as Uranium-235, decay at constant, known rates over
time (its half-life, which is over 700 million years). An accurate
estimate of the rock's age can be determined by examining the ratios of
the remaining radioactive element and its daughters. For
example, when lava cools, it has no lead content but it does contain
some radioactive Uranium (U-235). Over time, the unstable radioactive
Uranium decays into its daughter, Lead-207, at a constant, known rate
(its half-life). By comparing the relative proportion of Uranium-235
and Lead-207, the age of the igneous rock can be determined.
Potassium-40 (which decays to argon-40) is also used to date fossils.
The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,568 years. That means that half of the C-14 decays (into nitrogen-14) in 5,568 years. Half of the remaining C-14 decays in the next 5,568 years, etc. This is too short a half-life to date dinosaurs; C-14 dating is useful for dating items up to about 50,000 - 60,000 years ago (useful for dating organisams like Neanderthal man and ice age animals).
Radioisotope dating cannot be used directly on fossils since they don't contain the unstable radioactive isotopes used in the dating process. To determine a fossil's age, igneous layers (volcanic rock) beneath the fossil (predating the fossil) and above it (representing a time after the dinosaur's existence) are dated, resulting in a time-range for the dinosaur's life. Thus, dinosaurs are dated with respect to volcanic eruptions. - Looking for index fossils - Certain common fossils are important in determining ancient biological history. These fossil are widely distributed around the Earth but limited in time span. Examples of index fossils include brachiopods (which appeared in the Cambrian period), trilobites (which probably originated in the pre-Cambrian or early Paleozoic and are common throughout the Paleozoic layer - about half of Paleozoic fossils are trilobites), ammonites (from the Triassic and Jurassic periods, and went extinct during the K-T extinction), many nanofossils (microscopic fossils from various eras which are widely distributed, abundant, and time-specific), etc.
