Unearthing Our Neighborhood's Secrets: Exploring Local Geological Layers and Fossil Finds
by Kenn Patrick Bulaso
In this lesson, students will embark on an investigative journey to explore the geological history of their local community. Through hands-on activities and research, students will analyze rock layers formations and investigate the history of their place using relative dating techniques. By the end of the lesson, students will gain a deeper understanding of Earth's geological processes and how they have shaped their own surroundings.
