Introduction
A Walk Through Time is a scale model of geologic time constructed in the form of a walkway.
Segments in the walkway will be proportional in length to periods of time in the local
geologic column. Large rocks, representative of their geologic periods will be placed on either
side of the walkway as the path winds through geologic history. To enhance understanding of
geologic principles and processes, a plaque with a descriptive paragraph as well as a graphic
representation of the flora and fauna of its time will accompany each period. Students will
learn geology, math, graphic design, research, writing, problem solving, and leadership skills
as they work with representatives from the City of Broomfield and the Geological Society
of America. Not only will A Walk Through Time provide an interactive visit into our geologic
past and a glimpse of that influence on our lives today, but also it will leave a work of art
and a lasting legacy to the community of Broomfield.
