Teaching the geologic time scale has always posed a bit of a problem for me in my Biology classes. My students don't need the depth of knowledge that they might get in an Earth Science class. On the other hand, the concept of geologic time and the appearance and evolution of life on Earth is VERY important to my class. One of my most favorite sayings, "Nothing in Biology makes sense except in the light of evolution" (Theodosius Dobzhansky, American Biology Teacher, 1973.) is a mantra in my classes. We can't teach cellular respiration without the concept of endosymbiosis, and we can't teach endosymbiosis until our students know the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, etc, etc, etc. The history of life on Earth is (or should be!) woven into every single lesson we teach in a Biology class. Then "What's the problem?" you might be asking yourself. My problem is time. Not geologic time; just time to teach. It is a real struggle to cover everything in a year that needs to be covered! My solution was to find a way to quickly cover the concepts of geologic time and the evolution of life on Earth, without taking weeks to do so. Here are my goals. I want my students to: Know was is meant by the "geologic time scale." Be able to visualize the enormity of geologic time. Know when life first appeared on Earth. Know the order in which various life forms appeared. Know the importance of fossils, especially traditional fossils, to the study of evolution. Understand how scientists are able to date fossils that are found in various rock strata. Understand the relationship between mass extinctions and adaptive radiations. Have a clear and concise understanding of what happens in each era of Earth's history. I am extremely pleased with the activity I put together to accomplish these goals. This resource can be used in conjunction with your other lessons and materials you use on this topic, OR, (and here is the best part!) it can be used as a stand-alone activity that quickly covers the above topics in just a couple of class periods. The printable version is perfect for traditional classroom settings, but there is also a digital Google Apps version for distance learning and 1:1 schools. If you need to teach this fast, this is the activity for you! What concepts are covered in this resource? Definition of the geologic time scale. How the geologic time scale was developed by scientists. Relative dating and Radioactive dating. Earth’s history is divided into 4 Eras which are subdivided into smaller periods. How to read the information on the geologic time scale reference table. Comparing lengths of geologic time. The order of events in the evolution of life on Earth. Transitional fossils. Estimating the age of organisms based on relative dating. Rock strata. What will the students be doing? Students complete a 6-page handout on the geologic time scale and complete a 2-page timeline of the history of life on Earth. Students make a circle graph of the time spent in each era. Students use the included Geologic Time Scale Reference Table to answer a series of 30 problem solving questions. Students make a scale diagram showing the length of each era. Students look at pictures to evaluate characteristics of certain organisms. Students complete a relative dating cut and paste activity. Students using relative dating to estimate the age of certain organisms. Students complete a 2-page cut and paste timeline activity showing the evolution of life on Earth. Students are guided through an exercise that allows them to compare all of Earth’s history to one calendar year. As much as I love teaching these topics, there is a limit to what we can expect our students to absorb. We can't ask them to learn every event in every era, period, and epoch in geologic time. I have certain key events that I want my students to know, so I put together a one-page table outlining the most important events in Earth's history. The beauty of this resource is that with this one-page reference table the activity can be used as a stand-alone lesson. The students don't need prior knowledge or prior teaching. This lesson can be completed in two 1-hour class periods right before you begin your units on evolution. I would suggest having a biology textbook handy if students are seeing this information for the first time. There may be a few vocabulary words that they would need to look up. If you are in a big time crunch, let the students work in groups for one class period, and complete complete unfinished portions for homework. You can find this activity in my TpT store by clicking this link, and here is what you can expect to find included: 6-Page printable and editable student worksheet set 1-Page Geologic Time Scale Reference Table 2-Page Timeline Worksheet 8-Page Teacher Guide and Answer Keys All images needed for the "cut and paste" portions of the activity. Paperless digital google apps version for use in Google Drive, Google Classroom, Microsoft OneDrive, or similar. I hope this article has given you something to think about, and some new ideas on how to teach geologic time to your biology or life science students. Have fun teaching!

Japan // Nippon Map // 日本国 One of my first surprises about exploring Japan was its size - I thought of it as a small "J" shaped island on the other side of the world from me. Little did I realize that it's the size of the US's eastern seaboard! The northern islands border Russia and the southern island chain runs neatly into Taiwan. The map highlights the geological features of the country, highlighting all 47 prefectures, the four main islands and the island chains of Ryukyu and Izu-Shote.

Gorilla Picture to work on symmetry for Earth Day or an Animal Unit Study. 3 levels of difficulty for differenciation. No prep, just print, copy and use! For the level 1 the drawing is complete and the student must color symmetrically. For the level 2 half of the drawing and part of the other half are done and the student must complete and color symmetrically. For the level 3 half of the drawing is done and the student must do the other half and color symmetrically. This product is different from other symmetry products. The drawing is my own and is made geometrically so that the symmetry work is a real precision work and locating on the grid. Level 3 is challenging for elementary students and will be more appropriate for middle school students or gifted elementary students. This activity is a great addition to any math center and is perfect for early finisher, substitutes or homework.

UPDATED 1/23/22 This product includes two versions of Anchor Charts: a "Do It Yourself: Print and Glue" and a "Get it Printed: Posters". The Do It Yourself: Print and Glue version requires you to print the pages from your computer and glue them together on a poster board. I used the 14 in. x 22 in. poster boards for most, and the regular (large) posters for the others (ex. Habitat posters). You can color them and draw your own borders on the posters. With a little coloring and creativity, your anchor charts can look great! The Get It Printed: Poster version requires you to print it at either a print shop or with a poster machine if your school has one. There are PDFs and PNG Images of each poster in the size of 14 in. x 22 in. There are also multiple versions (3-5) of most of the posters: black/white, color, blank around the outside (to be able to draw your own cute borders). I laminated mine and used a Visa Vis marker to fill them out so I can use these posters year after year. :) Thanks for your support, Skye Cajun Classroom Creations Check out my store for all of my 1st Grade CKLA Skills and Knowledge products.
