Help your students build real understanding of geological timeline creation through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "What is the approximate age of Earth according to current scientific estimates?", "Which era is known for the appearance of the first dinosaurs?", and "During which epoch did modern humans first appear?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Introduction to Geologic Time, Layers of Rock, Fossils and the Rock Record, Relative and Absolute Dating, Mass Extinctions, and Analyzing Rock Sequences, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS1-4.
