In this 5E sequence students create their own geologic time scale by researching and sequencing important geologic and evolutionary events. Students then compare and contrast their geologic time scales to the ESRT, and refine their work based on what they learned. Finally, students apply their new learning by creating another geologic time scale within a more familiar time frame such as a year, month, or day.
