Lesson Plan

Serc: An Investigation Into Geologic Mapping: Quarry Park

Curated by ACT

In this geology field lab, students will map an area around Quarry 12 and Quarry 13 in Quarry Park. Using a field notebook, students will take field observations to later produce a basic geologic map, topographic map, and a cross-section. These maps will show various geologic features such as rock types, faults, and rock contacts. Students will write a lab report describing what they observed. Students will hypothesize what is happening underneath the surface and develop a realistic way of testing their hypothesis.
