Terrific unit to go along with our rocks and minerals science classes. My students love making these booklets, super helpful for them to assess their knowledge and test one another
I used this resource as an addition to a mini unit we did with the mentor text Ricky, the Rock Who Could Not Roll. My gifted 1st & 2nd kids enjoyed it.

NGSS4-ESS1-1
Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time. Examples of evidence from patterns could include rock layers with marine shell fossils above rock layers with plant fossils and no shells, indicating a change from land to water over time; and, a canyon with different rock layers in the walls and a river in the bottom, indicating that over time a river cut through the rock. Assessment does not include specific knowledge of the mechanism of rock formation or memorization of specific rock formations and layers. Assessment is limited to relative time.
