Detailed Lesson Plan Geologic Time

The document provides a detailed lesson plan about geologic time for a 10th grade science class. The plan outlines objectives to define geologic time, enumerate principles of relative dating, and discuss radiometric dating techniques. It includes activities for students such as a discussion led by the teacher about key concepts of geologic time and the development of the geologic time scale. Students are assessed on their understanding of interpreting Earth's history from the geologic time scale.

A. Preparatory Activity

“Good Morning Class …” “Good Morning Ma’am!”


(Prayer) (Students will stand and one student
“Please stand up and let us pray first will lead the prayer)
…..”
John please lead the prayer

(After the prayer)


(Students listened and obey the rules)
Class rules

Open the camera


Mute the microphone
Be attentive to the teacher

(Students say present)


Checking of attendance
(Roll call)

Are all present? Yes, Ma’am!

Very good! How’s your day class? Were good ma’am

“That’s good to know. So, are you Yes ma'am


ready for our topic for today?

If you are ready so let’s begin our


class for today.
Our topic for today is all about
geologic time.
If you heard Geologic time what
comes in your mind? (Varied answers)

Yes, extensive interval of time


occupied by the geologic history of
Earth. Very Good
DISCUSSION
(Students listen to the presentation)

Geologic time is to develop a history


of how geologic events have acted on
the Earth through time, we need to
understand what and when geological
processes have occurred through
Earth’s history

Geologists is a scientist who studies


the solid, liquid, and gaseous matter
that constitutes Earth and other
terrestrial planets, as well as the
processes that shape them.

Relative and Absolute Dating

Relative dating is a method used to


determine the relative order of
geologic events and observations
about the relationships of rocks to one
another in the rock record.

Absolute dating is a method that


provides estimates of the age of
stratified rocks.

4 Principles of relative dating

1. Superposition means that the


oldest rock is located on the bottom of
undisturbed rock layers.

2. Original Horizontality means that


sedimentary rock layers always begin
in a Horizontal position.

3. Cross – Cutting Relationship


means that anything that cuts across
the younger that the rock layers its
cuts through.
4. Unconformity means that a gap
forms in a series of rock layers due to
erosion.

Radiometric Dating finds the


absolute age of a sample by
determining the relative percentages
of a radioactive parent isotope and a
stable daughter isotope.

Types of Radiometric Dating


1. Radiocarbon dating for dating
organic remains.
2. Potassium-argon dating is often
used to date rocks that are 100,000
years to billions of years old.
3. Uranium-lead dating is based on
measuring the amount of the lead-206
daughter isotope in a
Sample
4. Uranium-lead dating can be used
to determine the age of igneous rocks
that are between 100
million years and a few billion years
old.

Fossil Evidence
is the study of fossils (palaeontology),
together with other geological and
biological
evidence, provides information on the
history
of Earth and the evolution of life.

FOSSILS are preserved remains of


living
organisms.

TRACE FOSSILS are disruptions of


sediments caused by the normal
activities of animals.

Geologic Time Scale is the ideas of


superposition and evolution provide
the basis of the geological time-scale,
which
was developed in a somewhat random
fashion (mostly in Europe) during the
19th century.

Generalization

Geologic Time is to develop a history


of how geologic events have acted on
the Earth through time, we need to
understand what and when geological
processes have occurred through
Earth’s history.

Geologic Time Scale It is a


worldwide scale developed by
correlation of fossils from all around
the world. It is the ideas of
superposition and evolution provide
the basis of the geological time-scale,
which
was developed in a somewhat random
fashion (mostly in Europe) during the
19th century.

Application

What is the different geologic time Varied answer


scale in descending order of duration?
Calling one student to participate Eons, eras, periods, epochs, and
ages.

Very good answer! It subdivides all


time into named units of abstract time
called in descending order of duration
eons, eras, periods, epochs, and
ages.

Trivia: Geologists have divided Earth's


history into a series of time intervals.
These time intervals are not equal in
length like the hours in a day. Instead
the time intervals are variable in
length. This is because geologic time
is divided using significant events in
the history of the Earth.

IV. Evaluation

Teacher’s activity Students activity


Instructions: Describe how the Earth’s Students answer the activity

geologic time scale. Match column A
with column B. Write the letter on the
