Activity: Scientific Testing & Identification of Minerals
• After the overview of the tests, use equipment package to make observations of the minerals
• Refer to the properties of minerals chart to match each sample to a mineral name
• Place each sample in the correct place on the Mineral Challenge place mat

Recycling Rocks
• The rock cycle has been recycling rock for billons of years; using the same materials to make and remake rocks in an endless cycle.

The Three Rock Groups IGNEOUS
Intrusive • solidifies within the earth • slow cooling means mineral grains have time to grow • coarse grain
Extrusive • solidifies near or on the surface • rapid cooling means minerals have only short time to form • fine grain
SEDIMENTARY Clastic • made up of pieces (clasts) of pre-existing • particle size from microscopic clay to huge boulders
Chemical • formed by chemical precipitation
Biological • may from accumulated carbon-rich plant material or from deposits of animal shells
METAMORPHIC Foliated •forms when pressure squeezes the fat or elongate minerals within a rock so they become aligned • develop platy sheet -like structure
Non-foliated •no matter how much pressure is applied, grains will not align • contact metamorphism, magma intrudes into pre-existing rock; baked by heat

Rocks as clocks
• Reflecting on what you have learned thus far, which rock type would most likely contain fossil evidence?
Transport Sedimentation New rock
formation
Fossilization Preservation Dead Organism Life in the past

Getting your bearings
• Fossils through time:
– Geologist record the history of the Earth on a timescale that is unfamiliar to your students
Eons, eras, periods,
epochs … oh my!

Fossils of Ontario • What is the fossil record?
• How are fossils formed and how do scientist find and identify fossils?
• What can a collection of fossils tell us about Ontario’s past?
• Can you think of an economically important reason to study geology?
• Why are sites like Manitouiln Island Nature Reserve of great importance to researchers, the public, etc.

Activity: Mono-, di-, trilobite
• Blank paper
• Crayons (3 colours)
– Head
– Thorax
– Tail
• Trilobite fossil samples
• Attempt to create a complete representation of a trilobite by using all the samples in classroom

Activity: What time is it?
Fossil Challenge
• Without referring to the ON Fossil guide place mat, try to place the sample fossils of Ontario, order from oldest (left) to youngest (right)
