Mastering Geologic Time with a Relative Dating Interactive Activity

"A relative dating interactive activity is an educational tool designed to teach the principles of stratigraphy by allowing users to sequence geological events and rock layers without determining their absolute age in years. By interacting with virtual or physical models of rock strata, participants apply scientific laws to reconstruct the chronological history of a specific site. Geology is often described as a puzzle where many of the pieces are missing or have been moved. To understand the history of Earth, scientists rely on two primary methods: absolute dating and relative dating. While absolute dating provides a numerical age using isoto..."
