One of the main reasons why I wanted to do Paleontology Project was because I didn’t know a lot about the topic.  Throughout my externship, I was able to learn more about the geological time scale and what existed during each period.  Also, I learned more about Pangaea and the formation of the United States.  Learning these two important pieces of information will help me a lot when I teach the evolution unit on lifeforms and landforms.  Finally, I learned a lot about shark teeth, how to identify and measure them.  This will help when I implement these strategies into my curriculum module.
