Students sequence actual events in the history of life on Earth and place them on a large timeline.Author/Source:
UC Museum of Paleontology Grade level:
6-8 Time:
50-60 minutes Teaching tips:
We recommend preceding this activity with "Sequencing Time" - an activity in which students assign relative and numerical times to events in their lives to understand how scientists developed the Geologic Time Scale. Concepts: - Through billions of years of evolution, life forms have continued to diversify in a branching pattern, from single-celled ancestors to the diversity of life on Earth today.
- Scientists use fossils to learn about past life.
