Getting Ready

1. Make copies of the Geologic Time Web Activity handout
2. Preview the teacher and the student sections of the “Understanding Geologic Time” website
3. Optional: bookmark links to “Understanding Geologic Time” (http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/education/explorations/tours/geotime/index.html) and the “Geology Wing” (http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/exhibit/geology.html) on the student computers. The urls are long and easily entered incorrectly by students.
