Visit our Facebook page to see inside the classroom of Goff Middle School Science Teacher Courtney Brewer where students are learning about the Earth’s History through the study of Geology.

In a recent class, students reviewed Geologic principles through hands-on learning. They worked with cards representing rock strata with each containing key information. They then used the Principle of Faunal Succession and their knowledge of extinction to put rock layers in order based on fossil evidence.

As the unit continues, students will create a timeline of Earth’s history and explore how the study of geology has contributed to our broader understanding of the planet’s past.
