A. Reviewing previous

presenting the new
lesson
Organisms inhabiting the earth have changed overtime. Their structures, traits and
B. Establishing a abilities allowed them to adapt and survive in their environment. Data from the fossil
purpose for the records, anatomy and morphology, embryonic development, and biochemistry could be
lesson analyzed to demonstrate if evolution of life on Earth has taken place
Post the following fossil remains on the board. Ask the students to make some
observations.
C. Presenting
examples/instances
of the new lesson
Explain that fossils are examples of materials that paleontologists use in studying
evolution; they are traces of organisms that lived in the past and were preserved by
natural processes or catastrophic events in rocks, peat, or ice; some fossils are remains
of organisms, that include bones, shells, teeth and also feces (coprolite). Through time,
the fossil-bearing rocks were exposed by movement of the Earth’s surface, by
weathering, or dug out by paleontologists.
Students will do Activity about organizing the fossil record.
D. Discussing new
concepts and
practicing new skills

GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. What do you think the different colored layers represent?
2. What are fossils and how are they created?
3. As you dig down deeper into the rock layers what is happening to the ages of the
rocks?
4. Which rock is the youngest? Oldest?
5. Use letters in arranging the rocks from youngest to oldest.
E. Discussing new
concepts and
practicing new skills
#2
F. Developing The answers to the guide questions are as follows:
mastery (Leads to
Assessment 3) 1. The different layers represent the rock samples where fossils can be found.
2. Fossils are remains which are commonly found in rocks.
3. It becomes older.
4. A, F
5. A (youngest), B, C, D, F (oldest)
G. Finding practical Do you know why dinosaurs no longer exist today? Why some animals before are very
applications of different from the animals we have now? You may also wonder why some animals that
concepts and skills are present before are no longer existing today. Such extinction of organisms was
in daily living caused by various environmental factors and human activities. Therefore, it is very
important that we preserve fossil records as an evidence that dinosaurs and other
organisms existed millions of yrs. ago.
