5th Graders Map Earth's History

5th graders recently mapped out the history of the Earth using a roll of toilet paper for their timeline. The objective was to demonstrate: 1) how long the history of the Earth is; and, 2) that humans have only existed for a tiny fraction of the Earth's entire history. The snow/mud and wind made the project challenging as the toilet paper kept ripping and blowing away, but students learned much from the process nevertheless. Check out a few photos.
