Monday/Tuesday
Students will start with http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/education/explorations/tours/geotime/index.html  We will continue on our evidence for evolution packet - our goal today will be to color comparative anatomy and look at the evidence it gives us for evolution.  We will complete a standing geologic time line.  Students will be given a short paper worksheet on geologic time divisions with organic and inorganic changes.  We will start our projects on creating a geologic time.  Students will be required to place 25 different items on the timeline correctly.

Due at the end of class on Friday.

Homework worksheet on geologic time divisions will be collected.  Remaining time will be used to complete geologic timeline project. Project is due at the end of class on Friday. What is completed at the end of class Friday will be graded. See scoring rubric.
