It follows with the Archaean and Proterozoic Eons including protobionts, prokaryotes, and eukaryotes. To find life on another planet, scientists look for gases atmosphere , water, and temperatures that are not extreme.
In this activity, groups of pupils become "Titan-ians," scientists who want to explore Earth for possible life forms For Teachers 6th - 8th. Using meters as years, your class works together to map out the geologic time scale on a football field. Plenty of background information is included in this lesson plan as well as several resource links and a student worksheet. Life existed on Earth more than four billion years ago, much earlier than scientists predicted. Eons presents a lively video as part of a larger series.
It explains the recent findings on multiple continents that alter the timeline of For Teachers 7th - 10th. Introduce your class to Google Calendar with a collaborative learning project that asks groups to create and share a Google calendar that compresses the history of life on Earth into a single year. Groups research a geological era Scientists try to understand the origins of life, and answers to these questions might be found during our lifetime.
The fourth video in a part series explains the earliest forms of life on Earth and their development. It covers For Students 3rd - 8th Standards. Is there life beyond Earth? Take a look through a virtual telescope in a video that provides possible scenarios in which life could exist on other planets. For Students 9th - 12th Standards. Take it all the way back! Young scientists discover the changes that took place from the time Earth became solid to present day through an interesting interactive.
The resource guides users through key events that have shaped our world For Students 7th - 12th. Meet cyanobacteria, the single-celled organism that changed the world by causing the first mass extinction of life forms, gave rise to oxygen breathing life forms, and was responsible for the first Ice Age. How did life on earth begin? It lets students highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place — even when offline.
Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media engage students and give them access to the help they need, when they need it. Educators can easily share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their eText and what they learn in class. Download Preface.

Each chapter presents a Case Study that describes a true and relevant event or phenomenon and ties the related biological concepts to the real world. First, the chapter introduces the topic with a Case Study. Then, the Case Study Continued sections expand on the case study and connect the topic to related biology concepts.
Finally, the Case Study Revisited sections wrap up the narrative by explaining how the story is related to the biology topics in the chapter. Accompanying questions encourage students to further reflect on the Case Study take-home lessons.
Many Case Studies have been heavily revised, and the 12th Edition features a new Case Study in Chapter 4 on bioengineering human organs. Teach your course your way: Your course is unique. New - Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience available within Mastering. It allows students to easily highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place—even when offline. Empower each learner: Each student learns at a different pace. Personalized learning, including adaptive tools and wrong-answer feedback, pinpoints the precise areas where each student needs practice and gives all students the support they need — when and where they need it — to be successful.
Deliver trusted content: We partner with highly respected authors to develop interactive content and course-specific resources that keep students on track and engaged.
