DAILY LESSON PLAN in Earth and Life Science

1. Differentiate between relative dating and absolute dating
I. OBJECTIVES

IV. PROCEDURES

A. Review Describe how layers of rocks (stratified rocks) are formed.

Ask the students to bring their assignment (different sizes and kinds of rocks) and ask to predict
B. Purpose/ Motivation
how old the rocks are
Present the geologic timeline image and ask the students to describe and analyze the image.

C. Presenting Examples

Present the subtopics:

 Geologic time scale
 Relative dating principles
 Absolute dating w/ radioactivity
 Correlation of rock layers

D. Discussing new concepts Present to Relative Geologic Time Scale asks the students to analyze the diagram
and practicing new skills #1

• The relative geologic time scale has a sequence of

 eons
 eras
 periods
 epochs
  but no numbers indicating how long ago
each of these times occurred
Eons
Phanerozoic - last 570 million years
Cenozoic - recent life
Mesozoic - age of middle life
Paleozoic - ancient life
Precambrian - from birth of Earth up to before
complex life forms developed

(algae, bacteria, some fossils without shells like jellyfish)

From the concepts of Geologic timeline present the key principles of Relative dating and
E. Discussing new concepts
absolute dating: (Using Power point presentation)
and practicing new skills #2
Relative dating - putting rocks/events in proper order
Absolute dating - determining event’s actual time

F. Developing mastery

Asks the students to differentiate the two images using key principles of relative and absolute
dating

1. Present correlation of rock layers by matching up rocks from different places that are similar
in age using the given illustration. Group the class in to three and ask them to discuss each
national ark

G. Finding practical
applications of concepts and
skills in daily living

Relative dating is the science of determining the relative order of past events (i.e., the age of an
H. Making generalizations and
object in comparison to another), without necessarily determining their absolute age, (i.e.
abstractions about the lesson estimated age).
 Absolute dating is the process of determining an age on a
specified chronology in archaeology and geology. Some scientists prefer the
terms chronometric or calendar dating, as use of the word "absolute" implies an unwarranted
certainty of accuracy. Absolute dating provides a numerical age or range in contrast
with relative dating which places events in order without any measure of the age between
events.

Putting the events in order (Let the students to put in each geologic event in each images)
