Timeline Earth Project

In this project you (and a partner) will research the ages of Earth and construct a visual timeline.
 


One of several methods may be chosen for the final product ......
bullet

- compose your timeline upon a foam board at least 12" x 18"
- you can print out images and titles from the class printers and fix them onto the foam board poster into a final product

bullet

- learn to use the basic elements of PhotoShop and layout a composition on an 11" x 17" canvas for printing in colour
- we have a larger format printer in class to handle this size

bullet

- construct a web page for your project using the strenghts of communication that this media affords such as hyperlinking and animation if possible

bullet

- PowerPoint ? this can be an interesting media when it works and isn't over worked ....... the problem can be portability of the final product.


 

This project should include short descriptions of the various Eons and Eras
and make good use of visual elements that you will most likely find on the Internet.
You will show the general trends as Earth changed over the Eons in a visual and point form manner.
Your project should highlight some interesting topic such as
bullet

 - human timeline (this is fairly limited)

bullet

 - dinosaurs

bullet

 - life in general

bullet

 - extinctions

bullet

 - some other topic of your choice
