What educators are saying

This web quest was awesome! This kept my students engaged over three class periods. They learned a lot...I used it an more of an introduction following up with important vocabulary and notes. The seller was very helpful when I had issues downloading/ sharing to digital platform. Thank you!
This was a great launch for our geology unit. Kids were able to work at their own pace and did a nice job working on it. I plan on using this again. Thanking you for making this.

This WebQuest is a mini-unit all in itself. It's a great way to introduce or review the Geologic Time Scale. Help students understand what can be an abstract concept.

This WebQuest is also ideal sub plans!!

This engaging WebQuest can be completed individually, with partners, or in groups. The purpose of this WebQuest is for students to learn about the Geologic Time Scale, the events that are included, and how it is arranged.

Some topics in this WebQuest:

*strata

*Law of Superposition

*relative dating

*fossils

*fossil record

*mass extinctions

*eons, eras, periods, and epochs

*ice ages

*asteroid strike

*age of Earth

*oldest known fossil

*oldest human fossil

This activity guides students through exploring information and videos through the use of embedded links and QR Codes. Students are led through components of a WebQuest: introduction, task, process, final task, and conclusion. As a final task, students are asked to complete a calendar that represents the time scale.

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. Emphasis is on how analyses of rock formations and the fossils they contain are used to establish relative ages of major events in Earth’s history. Examples of Earth’s major events could range from being very recent (such as the last Ice Age or the earliest fossils of homo sapiens) to very old (such as the formation of Earth or the earliest evidence of life). Examples can include the formation of mountain chains and ocean basins, the evolution or extinction of particular living organisms, or significant volcanic eruptions. Assessment does not include recalling the names of specific periods or epochs and events within them.
