The Origins of Life

1. Interpret a timeline of the major stages in the origin and evolution of life on earth

   • Timeline on paper
   • Timeline

2. Evidence that supports evolution of life on earth

   • Fossils found - A fossil is the remains of a plant/animal embedded in rock to preserve. To be classified as a 'fossil' it has to be more than 10,000 years old.
   • Organisms - Bacteria has been found in the ground

3. Difference between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes, & order in timeline

   • Prokaryotes - Bigger more complex organism, who's cell lack a nucleus and other components e.g. bacteria, archaea. 3.5 billion years ago
   • Eukaryotes - Any organism who's call contains a nucleus, and other structures enclosed with a membrane e.g. animals, plants, fungi. 1.2 billion years ago.

4. Conduct a lifecycle of a invertebrate(butterfly)

   • Research
   • Assessment
