Used by geologists and other scientists to map the timing and relationship between events that have occurred during the history of the Earth.

Broken down into Eons(biggest chunk of time), Eras (smaller chunks), and Periods (smaller chunks).

Make your own Geologic Time scale

Use the first page (front and back) of the class packet to fill in the Geologic Time Scale. The packet is titled “Exploring Geologic Time Poster”
Then use the next page, titled “Geologic Time with Major Evolutionary Events in the Fossil Record” to fill out the ‘Interesting notes’ section.

Geologic Time scale Video

In the next blank page of your lab book, title the page ‘Geologic Time scale Video’.
While watching, consider the questions: “What are some categories of Geologic time?” And “How do we determine where one ends and another begins?

Geologic Time Scale Video

After watching the video, spend 2 SILENT minutes writing what you learned based on the prompts : ““What are some categories of Geologic time?” And “How do we determine where one ends and another begins?”

After writing, spend 2 minutes discussing with your elbow partner.

Finish Making your own Geologic Time scale

You started this yesterday. Complete with elbow partner and then we will go over as a class.
Use the first page (front and back) of the class packet to fill in the Geologic Time Scale. The packet is titled “Exploring Geologic Time Poster”
Then use the next page, titled “Geologic Time with Major Evolutionary Events in the Fossil Record” to fill out the ‘Interesting notes’ section.
