ACTIVITY 2: Please answer guide questions from Activity

What happened?

1. Do you see any similarity of your personal timeline to the geologic time scale of the
Earth‟s history?
 Yes. Our own lives are so short when we compare them to the age of the
Earth, that the hundreds of millions of years of geologic time are almost too
much to grasp. Scientists do not measure geologic time on a clock or
calendar. They use a timeline that is based on the age of rocks and the
fossils found in those rocks.

2. How will you describe the technique used in creating your timeline?
 The definition of a timeline is a list of events in the order that they
happened. An example of a timeline is what a policeman will construct to
figure out a crime. An example of a timeline is a listing of details regarding
an important time in history.

What Now?

1. What is your realizations while creating your personal timeline?

 The timeline creates a graphic picture of my life or most important events in

my life that came up to a realization that life has its ups and downs. It can
be very difficult to look back over our life or our experiences especially when
it is not worth to look it back but then after doing my timeline made me think
to the future self that I can’t even tell what will be the next. My pleasure to
do this again till the next journey of my life.

2. What is the significance of studying the history of life to the future of Science?

 Studying the history of science allows you to have a glimpse into both the
history of the world and into just how we discovered everything we know
about the world. Those moments of discovery may seem anti-climactic to us
now, but imagine not having discovered them at all. Imagine living without
that knowledge.
