Resource Title:Geologic time : Eons, eras, and epochs
Description:This publication contains resources designed to do three things. The first is to complement teacher content knowledge and its relationship to the nature of geologic science. Geology is not a laboratory based science lending itself to traditional notions of controlled experiments, rather it is a historical science requiring different methods. Second, we supply teachers with various student centered, hands-on/minds-on activities to develop student understanding, and third, we provide career oriented resources to expose students to scientists whose work involves concepts in geologic time.
