What educators are saying
This is a really cool resource. The pictures and explications helped walk my students through the different ideas.
Description
This is an interactive digital activity designed to reinforce the ideas of relative age, the Law of Superposition, and index fossils. Students will physically rearrange and analyze several outcrops to determine the relative age of rock layers and fossils. It is a great activity for distance learning and can be easily used with online learning platforms such as Google Classroom!

NGSSMS-ESS2-3
Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions. Examples of data include similarities of rock and fossil types on different continents, the shapes of the continents (including continental shelves), and the locations of ocean structures (such as ridges, fracture zones, and trenches). Paleomagnetic anomalies in oceanic and continental crust are not assessed.
