The Geologic TimeString

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students create a simple tool to visualize geologic time. They create knots to represent the K/T, P/T and Precambrian boundaries in a 4.6 meter string with each millimeter representing one million years. They then refer back to this tool often during a unit on geologic time.
