ENGAGE: DO THIS!
Timeline
Activity 1. Write the following events of the Earth’s history on the space provided
according to its year.
EXPLORE
Activity 2: Based on your answer in activity 1. Arrange the pictures from billion years
ago up the present time by writing numbers from 1 (oldest) to 5 (present).
Did you arrange it correctly from the oldest to the present time? Explain.
ELABORATE: APPLY WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED
1. Explain the different eras in the Earth’s history and what life was found during
those times based on the geologic time scale?
2. Explain the differences between eons, eras, periods, and epochs.
Eons- The largest unit of time.
Eras- A unit of time shorter than an eon but longer than a period.
Period- A unit of time shorter than an eon but longer than a period.
Epoch- A unit of time shorter than a period but longer than an age.

EVALUATE: ASSESS WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED

1. What is the purpose of the geologic time scale?
- Scientists use the geologic time scale to illustrate the order in which
events on Earth have happened. The geologic time scale was developed
 after scientists observed changes in the fossils going from oldest to
youngest sedimentary rocks.
2. Why are some units of the geologic time scale longer and some shorter?
- The reason why they are with different lengths is that they are marked
by certain important events in the past. Some are marked by significant
changes in the climate, some by the extinction of species, some by big
disasters, some by changes on the surface of the Earth, some by the
changes of the atmosphere.
3. How does the geologic time scale help scientists?
- Scientists use the geologic time scale to illustrate the order in which
events on Earth have happened. They used relative dating to divide
Earth's past in several chunks of time when similar organisms were on
Earth. Later, scientists used absolute dating to determine the actual
number of years ago that events happened.
4. How the Earth’s history can be interpreted from the geologic time scale?
- A geologic time scale is an important tool used to portray the history of
the Earth—a standard timeline used to describe the age of rocks and
fossils and the events that formed them. It spans Earth's entire history
and is separated into four principal divisions.

REFLECT!
Congratulations! You have reached the end of this module. Did you fully
understand the eras? Let us now assess your learning gains. Complete the
following phrase. Answer the following questions:
I understand- that Precambrian was 4000 MYA billion years ago, followed by
Paleozoic 543 MYA, Mesozoic 248 MYA, and Cenozoic 65 MYA up to the present.
I do not understand- I do not understand a lot about Precambrian Era.
I need more information about- how the geologists have divided Earth's
history into a series of time intervals.
