Wk 5 - Day 20

today i introduced and taught about geologic time. we watched a short 5 minute video on the topic and then jumped into the activity. the students will have 4 days to finish the project. they are given a roll of adding tape and measure out 5 meters. they then are following the directions and mapping out the era's in geologic time and marking down 15 events on their time line. the students are able to work in pairs and have the class time to work on the project.

i can't think of anything extremely interesting. the students went to work right away, there were very few questions or confusion...and by looking at how productive they were...they were understanding the activity. some students were in the hallway, others were spaced out between the desks. i spent my time walking around making sure they were doing the activity correctly, being productive and not too chatty. it was a good day.
