History on a Football Field - a different version

Meaghan Mihalic

This is a great way to visualize history using an object that uses 100, making the division fairly straightforward. My 6th graders have had a bit of trouble with the calculations, though. Today, I found this video! Similar concept, just starting with the formation of Earth. Can any of you use this with your rollout of scale? 

Just in time for Thursday night football! Football

  • Great share   I'll admit that the football field analogy has always been difficult for me - for lots of reasons. My school doesn't have one! My students don't all know how football works. Having to also explain that there are 100 yards on a football field while kids also wrap their heads around this deep time gets tricky. This video certainly helps and would probably pair well with To Scale Time.
