Cake Core Sampling Data (via schoology)
LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by answering question.
5min Clean and clear tables.
15min Core Sampling Activity. Students take core samples from the model (cake) and record their findings (ie Layer Color, Fossil Type & Location) into a shared spreadsheet via google classroom. [Sesame seed = Flower Fossil; Poppy Seeds = Seaweed Fossil; Chili Flake = Fish Fossil; and Raisin = Spider Fossil]
5min Class overviews evidence. Teacher double-checks findings.
10min Students use evidence to write a CER that provides evidence and reasoning for the land not being together in the past.
5min Students share CER paragraphs .
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
