3. Calculate the percentage of geologic time that is represented by recorded human history. 4. Calculate the metric unit of measurement that you would use if you wanted to include your environmental timeline on this Geologic timeline, assuming that the Industrial Revolution was about 150 years ago?

APES 5 Lab: Timeline of the Earth's History
2.
3.
Purpose:
To construct a timeline for the appearance of organisms on the Geologic Time Scale.
Materials:
5 meters of adding machine tape
Meter stick
Metric ruler
Markers
Procedure:
1. Measure out 5 meters of adding machine tape and spread it out on the floor. Use adhesive tape
to hold it down.
Write the name of the group members on the tape.
Use the following time scale:
Date
6. Shade each time era a different color and label it.
Precambrian era
1 meter = 1 billion years
10 centimeters = 100 million years
1 centimeter = 10 million years
1 millimeter = 1 million
years
4.
At the right end of the tape, draw a line and label it "present."
5. Measure to find the spot on the tape where 4.6 billion years ago would be and label this "Earth's
beginning."
Period
Paleozoic era
4.5 billion - 541 million years ago
541 million - 251 million years ago
251 million - 66 million years ago
66 million years ago-present
Mesozoic era
Cenozoic era
7. Now plot each of the following events on your timeline. Label the name of the event and the
time when it occurred and draw a diagram representing
Earliest evidence of life
Eukaryotic cells evolved
Arthropods evolved
Fish evolved
First land plants
First forests
Amphibians evolved
Dinosaurs evolve
Mammals evolve
Birds evolve

8. Tape up your timeline on the brick wall in the hallway. Use plenty of tape.
Flowering plants evolve
Dinosaurs become extinct
Great apes evolve
Genus Homo evolves
Species Homo sapiens evolve
