In the nineteenth article, we discuss the last period of the Cenozoic Era- The Quaternary period. It is the period we currently live in and it's still ongoing.
Prehistoric Period is the span of time before recorded history or the invention of writing systems. Click for more kids facts & download worksheets.
This time period took place 359 to 299 million years ago.
In the seventeenth article of the History of Life on Earth series we move on to the first period of the Cenozoic Era- The Paleogene Period
During the current epoch, called the Cenozoic Era, humanity appeared and began to dominate the Earth.
The Cenozoic era began about 65 million years ago and continues into the present.
Learn about the time period took place between 299 to 251 million years ago.
Learn about the time period took place between 299 to 251 million years ago.
The Middle Paleolithic period (ca 200,000 to 45,000 years ago or so) is the period during which Archaic humans appeared and flourished.
This is a very clear break down of Eons, Eras, Periods, and Epochs listing the appearance of life during each. I am going to cut and past the information and give the link to the original page. PRE-ARCHEAN (or HADEAN) EON ARCHEAN EON PROTEROZOIC EON PHANEROZOIC EON PALEOZOIC ERA MESOZOIC ERA CENOZOIC ERA TERTIARY PERIOD QUARTARNARY PERIOD PLEISTOCENE EPOCH HOLOCENE EPOCH ABOUT THE GEOLOGIC TIME SCALE Geologic time is the 4.6 Billion year history of Earth, from its origin to the present, as inferred from the rock record, both on Earth and the Moon, and the geochemical make-up of those two bodies. Geologic time is sometimes called "deep time". Geologic time is divided into a four-level hierarchy of time intervals: EONS -- The first and largest division of geologic time. ERAS -- The second division of geologic time; each era has at least two periods. PERIODS-- The third division of geologic time. Periods are named for either location or characteristics of the defining rock formations. Location = the region where the period's characteristic rocks were first studied. Characteristics = the nature of the unique system of rocks and rock formations that define the Period. EPOCHS -- The fourth division of geologic time; represents the subdivisions of a period. The time of the transition from one interval of geologic time to the subsequent one is usually marked by a relatively abrupt change in fossil types and numbers. is not known precisely, with the uncertainty increasing with increasing age since fossils become rarer and harder to identify in the distant past. There are four eons: Pre-Archean or Hadean; Archean; Proterozoic, Phanerozoic. The first three eons account for most of Earth's existence; collectively these three are called the Pre-Cambrian. PRE-ARCHEAN EON (or HADEAN EON) - 4.6 to 3.8 Billion years ~4.6 BYA -- Formation of Earth and Moon (as indicated by dating of meteorites and rocks from the Moon) ~4 BYA -- Likely origin of life This is the "hidden" portion of geologic time as there is little evidence of this time remaining in Earth's rocks. ARCHEAN EON - 3.8 to 2.5 Billion years The eon of first life ~3.8 BYA -- Oldest known rocks ~3.5 BYA -- Oldest known fossils (single celled organisms resembling bacteria) 3.2 BYA -- First known plants (algae) PROTEROZOIC EON - 2.5 Billion to 570 Million years The eon of the first multicelled life 1.2 BYA -- First known animal (jellyfish) (End of the Pre-Cambrian -- a period at least five times longer than all the geologic time that follows.) PHANEROZOIC EON - 570 Million years to the Present The eon of complex life PALEOZOIC ERA - 570 Million years to 245 Million years The era of ocean life; land animals appear toward the end of this era Cambrian Period - 570 Million years to 505 Millions years Onset marked by the appearance of first shellfish and corals; sometime called the "age of marine invertebrates" Abundant fossils appear in the rock record for the first time End of the Cambrian denoted by the appearance of fish Ordovician Period - 505 Million years to 438 Million years Between 510M and 505MYA - Fish first appear in the fossil record; these are the first vertebrates Silurian Period - 438 Million to 408 Million years Appearance of the first land plants; mountain building in Europe Devonian Period - 408 to 360 Million years The first insects and first amphibians/tetrapods; "age of fishes"; first abundant forests on land Mississippian Period - 360 to 320 Million years - (see also Carboniferous Period) Abundant amphibians and the appearance of the first reptiles Pennsylvanian Period - 320 to 286 Million years 305 MYA -- The first mammal-like reptiles Permian Period - 286 to 245 Million years Reptiles spread and diversify; evaporate deposits; glaciation in the Southern Hemisphere MESOZOIC ERA - 245 Million to 65 Million years The era of reptiles; some times called the "age of the dinosaurs" Triassic Period - 245 to 208 Million years First appearance of dinosaurs in the fossil record Jurassic Period - 208 to 145 Million years First appearance of mammals (around 222 MYA); dominance of the dinosaurs; mountain building in North America 150 MYA -- First birds Cretaceous Period - 145 to 65 Million years Flowering plants appear and spread rapidly; continued increase in dinosaurs. Climate warmer than at present, with sea level higher This period (and also the Mesozoic Era) end abruptly with death of the dinosaurs. CENOZOIC ERA - 65 Million years to the Present The era of mammals. Tertiary Period - 65 Million to 1.6 Million years ago Paleocene Epoch - 65 Million to 58 Million years ago Began with extinction of the dinosaurs Mountain building in Europe and Asia Eocene Epoch - 58 Million to 37 Million years ago Horses (around 53 MYA), whales, and monkeys first appear in the fossil record Oligocene Epoch - 37 Million to 24 Million years ago Elephants and apes first appear in the fossil record Miocene Epoch - 24 Million to 5 Million years ago Hominids first appear in the fossil record Pilocene Epoch - 5 Million to 1.6 Million years ago 2 MYA -- First humanlike animals Quaternary Period - 1.6 Million years to the Present Pleistocene Epoch -- 1.6 Million to 10,000 years ago The modern ice age; first modern humans appear Holocene Epoch - 10,000 years ago to present day Began with the end of the most recent glaciation
The Jurassic is the second period (system in stratigraphy) of the Mesozoic era. It extends from about 201.4 MYA, at the end of the Rhaetian age of the Triassic, to 145 MYA, at the beginning of the Berriasian age of the Cretaceous. As with other geologic periods, the rock beds that define the start and end of the period are well identified, but the exact dates are uncertain by 1 - 4 million years. The Jurassic constitutes the middle period of the Mesozoic era, also known as the Age of Dinosaurs.

Includes my Make a Museum Exhibit: Exploring Geological Time and additional resources including my Prehistoric Era materials and Plate Tectonics Resoruces Make a Museum Exhibit In this unit, designed for 9-12 year olds, students explore how to make a museum exhibit that shares information about geological time in an appealing way. Includes: -Teaching outline -Student handouts -Teaching and student materials to guide students in thinking about geological time. Prehistoric Era Materials Contains cards about different eras to help with research Plate Tectonics Plate tectonics Montessori Nomenclature Book that can be used in book or card format to help teach about the vocabulary of the earths tectonic movements. It illustrates and describes 6 features of plate tectonics: Earth's layers, tectonic plates, convergent boundary, divergent boundary, transforming boundary, fault What is PBL? Project Based Learning (PBL) is a type of learning where students learn skills and knowledge through carrying out a project. It is different to “doing a project” because PBL is like being the chef and bringing everything together and the usual project is like being a waiter, simply bringing knowledge to show someone. Quality PBL has several key elements: -Intellectual challenge -Authentic learning through a sustained or long term inquiry -Collaboration -Self-management -Reflection and revision activities -A public product is produced -Student voice and choice Traditionally a whole class does PBL together. These units have been made with a Montessori class in mind so can be undertaken by a portion of the class. Collaboration and discussion is a necessary part of this unit. A teaching outline is given along with what activities the students will complete after the lesson. You can see all my money saving bundles for a variety of topics here.
