Geologic Timeline

While looking for some activities in teaching glaciation, I came across this really great page that deals with the geologic time line. It addresses the same basics that I am to do, and makes it interactive. I had a student use it today to see what he thought...turns out it was "kinda fun" for him too. While it is a little of my topic of WebQuest data this week, it seemed like a good one to get out there. Enjoy.

I like how this timeline uses a book as a visual. I think students sometimes have a hard time understanding the numberline form. This makes a little more sense because you're going from beginning to end in the book, just as time does. It's also good that the site forces you to go in order from beginning to end. Students love to jump right to the last part if they can and say the read the whole thing. This makes them read it all. Great site:)
