Approximately 30 students, divided into groups covering 11 time periods, will construct a 4.6-billion year timeline. Each group will research one geologic periods biologic and geologic events and artistically render them on the class timeline. This will allow them to experiment with different materials in 2-D and 3-D. In addition, students will create a fossil of an organism that lived during that time to display in the classroom. They will also make mock fossils out of a material of their choice that they feel will last long enough to become a true fossil. This final step will show them how different materials resist the ravages of time better than others, which explains why there are large gaps in the fossil record. Objectives: Given time to research a geologic period in Earths history, students will compile a list of biologic and geologic events that occurred or were present during that time period. Given organisms that lived during their assigned time period, students will make a fossil out of Model Magic( resembling one of the organisms. Given time in class to draw, students will make a large silhouette of one of the most prominent organism from their geologic period. They will also draw other important organisms in black ink and noteworthy geologic events in the background of their time period. Given the completion of the timeline, students will know when major changes in climate, biota, and geology occurred. Given the testing of their fossils, students will know what materials make better fossils by withstanding biotic and abiotic factors. Given the completion of the timeline, students will know how to use different media to produce 2 and 3-dimensional works of art. Given a portion of the timeline to render, students will collaborate with their classmates to construct a model of Earths history. Time: The estimated time for completion of the project is 5 days (49 min periods): 1 day in the library to research, 2-3 days to illustrate, and 1-2 day to test the fossils, conclude with class discussion. 7th Grade California Science Content Standards Addressed: 4. Evidence from rocks allows us to understand the evolution of life on Earth. As a basis for understanding this concept: Students know Earth processes today are similar to those that occurred in the past and slow geologic processes have large cumulative effects over long periods of time. Students know the history of life on Earth has been disrupted by major catastrophic events, such as major volcanic eruptions or the impacts of asteroids. Students know that evidence from geologic layers and radioactive dating indicates Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and that life on this planet has existed for more than 3 billion years. Students know fossils provide evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed. Students know how to explain significant developments and extinctions of plant and animal life on the geologic time scale. 7th Grade California Art Content Standards Addressed: Identify and describe scale (proportion as applied to two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art. Develop increasing skill in the use of at least three different media. Develop skill in using mixed media while guided by a selected principle of design. 2.5 Interpret reality and fantasy in original two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of art. 5.2 Use various drawing skills and techniques to depict lifestyles and scenes from selected civilizations. Materials Science Content: Different materials have different structures Material properties determine functionality material choices should be based on Functional needs (strength, texture, temperature stability, flexibility, permeability, etc. Aesthetic needs (color, texture, density, etc.) Natural materials evolved according to requirements of environment and function Materials scientists and engineers study natural materials to understand their structures and functions, and use that information to create or strengthen new man-made materials (examples) Materials Science Connections: Paper: Easy to manipulate Inexpensive Can be drawn on with many different media (crayons, colored pencils, pens). Can be recycled Model Magic: 3-dimensional material Malleable Can be painted Cures quickly and without heat Materials for 5 groups of 30 students: 1 - Paper rolls-200 ft. 3 4 oz.

This portion will be a magnified version of the last 2 million yearsthe Quaternary Period. The right side will be present day, then mark off every 10 centimeters, labeling them 1 mya and 2 mya. The 2 mya line will also be the start of the main timeline section, write "Present" on the left side of this line. From this point, measure 30 cm and draw short line (about 2 cm) down the paper and label that 100 million years ago (mya). Continue measuring and labeling every 100 million years. If you would like, you can then go back and mark off 3 cm sections that represent 10 million year marks for 1 billion years. Go over all year marks with Sharpie so they stand out. The next step will be to label the time periods lightly in pencil. Follow the table below: Time PeriodYearsStudent Drawing Area WidthPrecambrian4.5 bya - 600 mya* TBDCambrian600 500 mya30 cmOrdovician500 440 mya18 cmSilurian440 4048 mya9 cmDevonian408 360 mya15 cmCarboniferous360 290 mya21 cmPermian290 250 mya9 cmTriassic250 210 mya15 cmJurassic210 140 mya20.5 cmCretaceous140 65 mya17 cmTertiary65 2 mya22 cmQuaternary2 mya Present6 mm + 20 cm At each time period marker, you can draw a dashed line all the way down the paper with a Sharpie. That way it is obvious where the time periods end, but shows that time is contiguous. It is recommended that you do this for all of your classes prior to starting the project. If you would like the students to do this part, expect it to take at least one day. * You may decide that you do not have room to display this 14-meter long timeline, and therefore, you can choose to cut off a portion of the Precambrian period. If you do choose to do this, you may want to show the full length with a string or ribbon so students can see the full length of Earths history. Day 1: Student Research Introduce the project to the class. Divide the class up into 11 groups. Randomly assign each group one of the 11 time periods in Earths history. As a class, go to the library to research. Each group should focus on life, geology, atmospheric processes, and fossils from their period. It is a good idea to have them print out one page with multiple pictures on it, so they can use them for reference later. (There are only a limited number of resources in the classroom) Once they have finished their research, as a group they must choose what they feel is the most important biologic event during that time. They will use that organism as the prominent object in their section, and make a silhouette of the organism. *If, for example, the dinosaurs went extinct, and the students feel that was most important, they will draw and cut out a dinosaur silhouette out of construction paper that will fill partially their section. Day 2-3: Starting the Timeline Tell groups how much space they have to illustrate (ex. 27 cm), One student from the group should draw and cut out the large silhouette organism, The rest of the group will draw all other biologic events in black ink to paste on top of, or near the silhouette. Students will then glue the construction paper organism to the class timeline. All geologic and atmospheric events occurring during the time period should be drawn in color in the remaining space. Names of the group members should be written on the back of their time period. The group should choose one student to make the metal embossed label with the teacher. Teacher should precut 3 x 8 cm metal labels (lightweight copper). Instruct the students how to emboss (reverse the image). This label can be glued to the bottom of their time period section. Optional: Create a bulleted 3x5 card describing their time period. Homework Assignment: Students will write a 150-word essay on A Day in the ______________ Period. Describe the organisms present, the atmospheric conditions, and other events that occurred during this unique period in Earths history. This assignment will be collected on Day 5. Students can share stories if time permits. Day 3-4: Continue Timeline & Make Fossil The group should continue to work on the biology and geology of their time period. In addition to the students assigned time period, it is necessary for them to make a contribution to the Precambrian Period. One student from each group will use Model Magic to make a fossil of an organism in their time period. Teacher should give each group approximately 1 ounce of Model Magic (1/4 of the package). The material will dry on its own in 24 hrs. Fossil can be: Body Fossil Trace fossil Casts or molds Students can paint the fossil if they choose. Label the fossil with: Organism name, time period and approximate age. Place the fossil in the Fossil Museum. (Place sheets of black construction paper on the counter with time period labels below the timeline. You can also make a banner to draw more attention to the Fossil Museum.) Day 5-1: Fossils That Stand the Test of Time At some point prior to this day, the teacher should discuss the fossil record and why it is not complete. Students should understand biotic and abiotic factors that can destroy an organism before and after fossilization. Each student in the class will make a fossil from their time period at home. The only requirement is that it must stand the test of time. * It is suggested that the teacher keep it a secret that the fossils will actually be tested for their durability. The students should research materials they feel will withstand the biotic and abiotic factors in an environment that may destroy an organism, or fossil before it is found. Clay Metal Styrofoam Cornstarch Packing Peanuts Fimo Clay Etc. They must then use that material/s to make a time period specific fossil no bigger than a fist. On the assigned day, students will bring in their fossils. The teacher will announce that all of the fossils are going to be tested to see if they can withstand the test of time and the environment. The teacher will announce what biotic or abiotic factor their fossils will be exposed to. Ex: If water is the factor, the teacher will submerge their fossils in a bath of water for a desired amount of time, or crush them, or expose them to heat, etc. It is suggested that the teacher choose a different environmental factor for each class period. Water: submerge, pour water over it repeatedly, hose, etc. Crushed: line them up outside and have the custodian roll over then in their cart, use a vise, have a student stomp on them, etc Freeze: place the fossils in the freezer overnight, or in an ice chest full of ice Students will directly witness the durability of their fossil creations. After students see the results, the class will discuss the characteristics of the materials that enabled some fossils to survive and some to be destroyed. The student will receive credit for this portion of the activity if a good effort is made in making their fossil, not in its ability to survive destruction. Day 5-2: Assessment As a group, the students will answer the conclusion questions. The questions will address the concepts covered in the timeline and basic material science lessons. It is suggested that each student write at least 3 answers to ensure participation of all group members. Students will additionally be assessed on Earth History in their science class unit test, and art standards in their art class. If time permits, students can share their A Day in the Life essays. Final Tips: Teachers can display timelines in the windows, on the ceiling, in the library or other public viewing area. As mentioned earlier, it is advised that you do not make the paper extend all the way to 4.6 billion years for the sake of display space and paper. Ribbon can be used to show the complete length. The teacher can make a display board of different student made fossils. Be sure to include successful and unsuccessful models. Prior to the start of the project, we cover the fossil record. All students work through an online simulation explaining the fossil record. This can be found at  HYPERLINK "http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/" www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/ Navigate to online exhibits, K-12 resources, and click for students, select Getting into the Fossil Record. See the teacher page for accompanying questions. If you are unable to purchase copper, you can use heavy-duty aluminum foil. In place of Model Magic you can use modeling clay. The downside is that it will not dry in a day.
