- Using the GEOLOGIC TIME SCALE handout, and the scale 1 mm = 1 million years ago, measure and label ( neatly in Black marker) the ERAs and PERIODS
- Next with a colored pencil shade in the three eras. Let yellow be the Paleozoic Era, let pink be the Mesozoic, let light blue be the Cenozoic and color the Pre-Cambrian Era orange.
