Day 2

We covered the geologic timelines today.  Your job is to take your assigned periods and do a bit of research on the following topics:

1.  Plant and Animal Fossils found
2.  Major landform events (mountain building, continent building/breaking, etc.
3.  Climate
4.  Meaning of the name of the period
5.  Location of rocks found from this period.

All of this information may not be available for your assigned period.  Don't fret, just gather as much information as you can.  No need to spend hours researching.
On Monday you will present this information to the rest of the class as we walk through the timeline.  Your information may be gathered as notes.

I also expect you to have your geologic timeline entered into your main lesson book by Monday.  This should include the super-eons, eons, eras and periods along with the time of each.  Along with the timeline, I expect that you will write summary of the table.  Included in this summary would be:
What information are you portraying and why?
How does the timeline help us to organize information?
An explanation of the vastness of geologic time and how you reacted to this?  What did we learn in our exploration of time today?  Explain how long it would take to count to 1,000,000.  To 1,000,000,000 and 4,500,000,000 and why is this significant.  Other thoughts and reflections would be great!
Post questions below if you have them!
