    1) The document discusses a geological time scale activity aimed at understanding concepts like eons, eras, epochs and periods, as well as major extinction events. 2) The student observed that the geological time scale breaks down Earth's history into spans of time marked by evolutionary events that distinguish one era from another. 3) Calculating the number of human generations since anatomically modern humans arose around 150,000 years ago, the student determined it would be around 7,500 generations to reach the present day.

    ACTIVITY 6

    GEOLOGICAL TIME SCALE

    I. Objective
     To understand the concept of geological time scale including eons, eras, epochs, and periods.
     To recognize on a timeline some of the mass extinction that has occurred in Earth’s history.
     Explain how the geologic time scale summarized earth history.

    II. Observation:
     I observed that the Geological time scale is the history of the Earth broken down into spans of time
    marked by various events and how they evolved help distinguish one era from another.

    III. Guide Question:


    1. The Earth as an incredible long history. How does understanding of Geologic time and the significant
    geologic events of the past impact your understanding of human’s unique responsibility and place on
    the Earth?
     The discovery of geologic time revolutionized scientific thinking and led to the development of the
    modern Earth sciences. This summarizes the literature describing the difficulties students encounter in
    understanding deep time, provides an overview of the historical development and cultural relevance of
    deep time, and suggests ways to increase students’ understanding of the significance of geologic time.
    All of these processes have existed throughout Earth history, but the processes have become hazardous
    only because they negatively affect us as human beings. Important Point – There would be no natural
    disasters if it were not for humans. Without humans these are only natural events.

    2. How does understanding the past helps us understand the present?


     Studying history can provide us with insight into our cultures of origin as well as cultures with which
    we might be less familiar, thereby increasing cross-cultural awareness and understanding. . With
    history we can track our origins and compare past patterns. . Looking back into history tells us why we
    do things. We should be able to see mistakes made in the past and hopefully we can learn avoid
    repeating them while at the same time look and learn in the good things of the past. It’s sort of like the
    signs we used to see at railroad crossing that said: “Stop. Look. Listen”
    3. Calculate how many generations of human’s it would take for us to exit now. What must human do
    exist this long for many generations?
     Since anatomically modern humans first arose about 150 thousand years ago, this is about, 7,500
    generations of modern humans. The typical estimates are between 5 and 10 thousand generations
    accounting for errors in years per generation estimation and the errors in dating the first anatomically
    modern humans. This are the existential threats; (1) ballooning world population growth, self-imposed,
    (2) global nuclear war – self-imposed; (3) human-induced global warming self-imposed; (4) killer
    asteroids and comets-natural; (5)cyclical long-term natural climate change-natural and (6) eventually a
    much hotter sun-natural.

    IV. Conclusion:
     The geologic time scale is a way that scientists work to understand the timespan of our planet based on
    empirical and fossils-based evidence is then used to try and place events in Earth’s history. Many
    things on our planet, such as the formations and mountains, of the draining of lakes by rivers, take a
    million of a years. The creation of life in earth and extinction of life in earth extinction has happened
    many times over. Scientists have documented at least 5 mass extinctions.
