Take your class on a short drive down an interstate highway that was built along a route that has several significant cuts through the deep, twisted sedimentary layers of earth pushed up into high hills or low mountains.
Stop occasionally and observe the fossilized flora and fauna that are clearly visible for observation.
Also pay attention to the vastly different mineral composition of the layers. What minerals color the various layers? Are there deep layers of limestone overlaying deep layers of sandstone and vice versa? Would limestone evidence long periods of deep sea inundation and sandstone indicate long periods of shallow sea shore ecology?
Observe the twisted, convoluted layers created by the intense forces of techtonic plate movement. Did this happen overnight?
Did these phenomena of natural evolution and geology occur over a period of 6000 years?
