This lesson plan is geared towards middle school earth science students. It could be easily modified to fit the curriculum of high school science or math.

In summary, this Google app lesson plan uses the Google calendar to create a timeline of important events. The unmodified lesson plan is used to create a timeline of the different major periods in the history of earth. Slight modification of the plan could result in chemistry or math students creating a timeline of the significant milestones in each field. For example, in chemistry, small groups of students could research when certain discoveries were made (periodic table first developed; nuclear reactions; new quark theories) and each group could input their discoveries into the Google calendar. Students can imput information such as the discovery, the person or people behind it, the location, and date, and any other misc. information which may be useful. Once all student groups have entered their information, the class will have a complete timeline of important events that can be shared.
This lesson plan could be used for most any grade or subject! It's a nice one!
