End of activity the by posting and asking 2 students to share their answer on the guided questions
below:

Guide Questions:
1. What can you say about the activity?
2. Do you think that Jay’s experienced is related to what palaeontologist have done to trace the
origin of life on Earth? Why and Why not ?

II. INTERACTION
A. Interactive Discussion
• Start the interactive discussion by asking: Have you ever wondered of how life exist on Earth?
 Expect different answers from the class.
B. PPT
• Show and discuss to the class the concept of Geologic Timeline especially on how to track the
Earth’s history using the geologic time scale.

The class will be divided into 3 groups. Allow students to work in teams and answer the
following questions in the activity. After

ACTIVITY 2: LET’S TRACE!


Direction: Look and analyze at the illustration below and answer the question listed below.

Group 1: 1. For how long has there been life on Earth?


2. For what percentage of time has life existed on Earth (round to the nearest whole
number)?

Group 2: 1. For about how many years of geological time have humans existed on Earth?
2. For about how many years of geological time have the dinosaurs existed on Earth?

Group 3: 1. Did dinosaurs exist at the same time as humans?


2. How do scientists determine when an era begins and when it ends?
3. What is the purpose of making a geological timeline?
III.INTEGRATION

In the same group, the students will conduct a survey about the possible geologic hazards
that their community may experience. The students output will be rated based on the rubric
below.

ACTIVITY 3: MY RESEARCH

Direction: Make a survey research about the possible Geologic hazards that your
community may experience. After conducting the study, you will present it in the whole class.
Please be guided by the rubrics below.
