Teaching the geologic time scale has always posed a bit of a problem for me in my Biology classes. My students don't need the depth of knowledge that they might get in an Earth Science class. On the other hand, the concept of geologic time and the appearance and evolution of life on Earth is VERY important to my class.

“Students who dream of studying glaciers,” says Lisa, “or exploring the deep sea or the moons of Saturn, might be discouraged with schools that don’t have instructors who can teach glacial geology, physical oceanography or planetary sciences.” Thinking about the environment requires working in all of Earth’s spheres,” says Lisa.
