CYO Crossword and Blog Post #2

CYO Crossword Puzzle

Today you are going to create your own crossword puzzle. You will use the same program that I use every week. Follow the directions below:


  • Click here to get started.

  • Begin by entering an appropriate title.

  • For "Author's Name" write "Created by [insert name here]"

  • Change the "color of square" to "grey"

  • Change "Free Form (PDF only)" to "yes"

  • Enter at least 15 terms with appropriate definitions or "clues"

  • All of your terms can only be 1-word answers. For example, your answer cannot be "Cenozoic Era" because that is a 2-word answer. You may need to make a fill in the blank question such as "We live in the _____ Era."

  • DO NOT USE THE ENTER KEY!! IT MAY ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN!

  • Your 15 terms should come from this list.



Blog Post #2

In yesterday's webquest I gave you a preview of our next extra credit question. Since it is such a hard question, questions #1 and 2 for today's blog have been designed to help you remember.



Answer the following questions in your blog:

1. List all of the geologic periods in order from oldest to present (Cambrian to Quaternary).

2. Come up with a mneumonic to help you remember the order. (example: My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas)

3. First watch this animation. Then put the rock layers in order from the image on the right.
