    III. The following are the different eras that explained the origin of life on earth, give
    important events on each eras and answer the following questions that follows.

    Precambrian Era – TIME PERIOD


    Three Events

    Roughly, when did the Cambrian explosion begin and what occurred that was different than the Precambrian
    explosion?
    What happened during the Cambrian explosion? How is that important to evolution?
    Define the term “fossil record” and explain how viable fossils are formed.
    What are some of the reasons scientist believe new life forms evolved in abundance during the Cambrian
    period.

    Paleozoic Era- TIME PERIOD


    Three Events

    How old was Earth when life first began? What were the first life forms?
    What happened during the Precambrian explosion? How is that important to evolution?

    Describe Earth’s early atmosphere? How did it change?

    Mesozoic Era- TIME PERIOD


    Three
    Events

    How do you think Pangaea breaking apart contributed to evolution?


    Describe the plant and animal life during the Mesozoic life?

    What major evolutionary change occurred for plants during this time period?

    Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when
    they gave up. – Thomas Edison
