1. Geologic Time When Was Coal Formed? - Sec.
...achine tape to a flat surface where you can work easily. 3. Draw a line near the end of the tape. This will be the beginning of the earth. Measure 4 meters from this mark and draw a line. Label it ?End of Precambrian Time.? Starting at this line, mark the distance that will represent the end of the Paleozoic Era. Label it ?End of Paleozoic Era.? Go back and divide the part of the tape representing the Paleozoic into correct lengths representing each period of this era. Label each with the correct name. Do the same with each era and period. Go back and label the main events in each era. Era Period Length...

4. Local Stratigraphy
...tudents are asked to describe only certain rock features (such as the direction of cross-bedding) and not others. Once you've toured the regional geology, it's generally obvious what rock units are good for what kinds of descriptions and measurements. For instance, in southern Minnesota, one of the Paleozoic sandstones (the Jordan Formation) has abundant cross-beds in part of its exposed section while the other Paleozoic sandstone (the St. Peter) does not. You can also group nearby outcrops into a single lab. It is helpful to have students think about stratigraphic correlation at each outcrop. If possib...

5. Geologic Time Scale
...1 & 2 Anticipatory Set: Students will try to put reptiles, birds, fish, mammals, plants, dinosaurs into sequential order from first to now. Discussion will follow. The Lesson: Geologic Time Cartoon: Students will be put into groups of three, each student in a group will be responsible for one ear (Paleozoic, Mesozoic, or Cenozoic). Students will receive a basic landscape with mountain, land, and water in 1. addition to a packet of coordinating cartoon animals and plants to place in their respective era cartoon scene. Students within each group will share their cartoons and explain the change in life fr...

6. The Geologic TimeString
...end; Knot (B) is 250 millimeters from the NOW! end; Knot (C) is 570 millimeters from the NOW! end. Knot (A) represents the Cretaceous/Tertiary (K/T) boundary, knot (B) represents the great Permian/Triassic (P/T) extinction, and knot (C) symbolizes the end of the Precambrian and the beginning of the Paleozoic Era. Concepts relating to geologic time are among the most difficult for students to grasp simply because the amount of time involved is so great. The TimeString will help stu-dents understand geologic time and will also combat illiteracy with regard to all kinds of large numbers I have even used it...

...or surface to spread out the material and a zip-lock plastic bag to put the fossils in to take them home. Good bright light is very important. 4. An alternative or additional exercise is to acquire several (one per every three or four students) plates of fossil bearing rock, at least a foot square. Paleozoic age limestones commonly occur as thin flag stones covered with a variety of fossils. Ask your local geologist about where to find such material. 5. In exercises 3 and 4 students identified the various fossils. They could also note the association of certain organisms with certain types of rock. For...

10. Flowers of the Iowa Seas Teacher Guide
...be measured by physical evidence. One important way to measure geologic time is by studying the remains of creatures that died over various eras and left behind their impressions in stone as fossils. The geologic time table is divided into four major eras - Precambrian (which means origin of life), Paleozoic (ancient life), Mesozoic (intermediate life), and Cenozoic (recent life). Those eras are further divided into periods with characteristic fossils and rock formations. Fossils are the remains or traces of organisms of a past geologic age buried in the earth's crust. A fossil can be a print of a leaf,...
