Geological Time Project Blog



Summary
The geologic time scale is a record of all the different life forms on the face of the planet. As well as geological events from earth long history. The Mesozoic Era was divided into 3 different time periods. The first one was the Triassic period when life outside the oceans started to diversify. The period after that was the  Jurassic period where the dinosaurs took over most of the land. Lastly the Cretaceous period took place with the mass exception ending the Mesozoic Era.During the Mesozoic Era the supercontinent Pangea was still intact for a while. But after anger started to drift apart forming the worlds oceans in between. Another big event was the major creation of mountain ranges in North and South America.
Backward-Looking:
I didn't know anything about this subject before we learned about it. I had always thought that time was time and that there wasn't any time periods besides the Jurassic Era and the beginning of time. I never really knew there were Era's or Eon's. But this project taught me lots of information about life and time before today.
Inward-Looking: 
How do you feel about this piece of work? What parts of it do you particularly like? Dislike? Why? What did/do you enjoy about this piece or work? I feel pretty good about my work. Except for the fact that my group didn't really put much color into out design. I liked our information that we put because I really think we got some cool facts into our poster board. I disliked the fact that my group didn't notice we put our time periods in the wrong order. I enjoyed drawing our little flip up cards during this project because it let me show a bit of my artistic side.
Outward-Looking: If I were the teacher, I would say that my groups board wasn't very colorful. It did have all the correct facts and information but an issue was that my group had put the era's in the incorrect order. We put the era that was supposed to be first, in the last era column.
Forward-Looking: 
One thing I would like to improve upon is our board setup because is was kind of scrambled here and there and it was not really colorful like the other boards and presentations. And I would also like to reflect on the amount of time we had. Most of our time we spent drawing and I wish we used more time to research more facts than try and perfect how our board looked.
