Geologic Time

Hello!

I felt it is important for me to reiterate to my students and their families that even thought we are studying geologic time, the ideas presented in this unit are scientific theory. Not at any time during this unit, will I attempt to convince students that geologic theory is anything more than a theory, nor will I penalize students for having a different viewpoint or belief other than this theory being presented.

Below I have listed the standards that I am required to teach regarding this theory. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

SC.08.3.A.2(7) Describe the Earth's Structure and how it changes over time.
SC.08.3.A.2(12) Describe the evidence for and the development of the theory of plate tectonics.
SC.08.2.C.1(6) Describe and explain the theory of natural selection as a mechanism for evolution.
SC.08.2.C.1(7) Identify and explain how random variations in species can be preserved through natural selection.
