Description
Students love this! It's engaging, inquiry based, student centered, rigorous and easy prep! This covers NGSS Earth ESS1-4 Geologic Time Scale/History. Engagement will go through the roof!
What students do:
Students first sort the pictures and discuss their rationale as groups (most will be in the wrong order), then students present to the class why they put them in that order. During this time the dates and year should remain in their separate envelopes. Then they can sort the actual dates of the year in chronological order. The "years ago" can then be placed in numerical order.
Then as a class, we read “Earths History Close Reading” and students can then rearrange the cards accurately using the information in the text.
Once the cards are sorted accurately, students can fill in the graphic organizer. Students need to think to fill out the graphic organizer. They may struggle, but this is good because it requires them to refer to the close reading and the card sort often, this will force them to learn. You will have students say they can’t find the answer after the first try. Encourage them to read the text and refer the card sort multiple times.
This lesson is approximately 50 minutes.

This Activity Covers NGSS Standards:
Rock Strata is not included in this resource, however it is a scaffold for a lesson using rock strata as evidence for geologic time.
Performance Expectation: Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth's 4.6-billion-year-old history. (MS-ESS1-4) Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include recalling the names of specific periods or epochs and events within them.
Disciplinary Core Idea History of the Earth ESS1-4: The geologic time scale interpreted from rock strata provides a way to organize Earth’s history. Analyses of rock strata and the fossil record provide only relative dates, not an absolute scale. (MS-ESS1-4)
Cross Cutting Concepts:
Time, space and energy phenomena can be observed at various scales to study that too large or small.
Scale, Proportion and Quantity
Patterns can be used to identify cause and effect relationships. (MS-LS4-2)
Graphs, charts, and images can be used to identify patterns in data. (MS-LS4-1),
(MS-LS4-3)
