Today is Monday Funday, April 16, 2012. We will be starting a STEaM Time Project today called "Project WICR". We will also be finishing our DESIGN A DESIGN BRIEF projects as well. We will use some of the time in our Historical Literacy Cores to gain a basic understanding of the project along with the sequence of activities this week. We will be starting with timelines.
A timeline is a way of displaying a list of events in chronological or SEQUENTIAL order, sometimes described as a project artifact. It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labeled with dates alongside itself and (usually) events labeled on points where they would have happened.
Timelines are not just used in the field of history. Below, you will see two examples of timelines used in the fields of science: Geologic Time & Cosmic History. Along with the graphic examples there is a link to another timeline pertaining to Nuclear Proliferation. It is a great example that may help us prepare for the STEaM activity today.
TIMELINE EXAMPLE: Nuclear Proliferation
