Lesson Guide in Earth and Life Science

I. OBJECTIVES

A. Content Standards How the planet Earth evolved in the last 4.6 billion
years (including the age of the Earth, major geologic
time subdivisions, and marker fossils).
B. Performance Standards
C. Learning Competencies/Objectives At the end of the session, students are expected to:
1. Describe how marker fossils (also known as
guide fossils) are used to define and identify
subdivisions of the geologic time scale.
S11/12ES-IJ-28

II. CONTENT HISTORY OF THE EARTH


III. LEARNING RESOURCES
A. References
1. Teacher’s Guide pages
2. Learner’s Manual pages
3. Textbook pages
4. Additional Materials from Learning
Resource (LR) portal
B. Other Learning Resources Quipper.com
IV. PROCEDURES
A. Reviewing previous lesson or Review on the difference between relative and
presenting new lesson (REVIEW) absolute dating
B. Establishing a purpose of the Video Clip on Fossil cave
lesson (MOTIVATION) Link: video.nationalgeographic.com
Guide Question:
1. Based on the video clip, enumerate the
different fossils mentioned on the video.

C. Presenting examples/instances of
the new lesson (PRE-ACTIVITY) The diagram shows the significant events that
happened and the organisms that existed and became
extinct at different periods of time. These events
became clues to the evolving history of Earth through
time. Several theories were formed from these clues,
such as Darwin's theory of Natural Selection and the
theories on events that resulted in the extinction of
dinosaurs.

Explore
Take note of your surroundings. How has the area
where you live changed over geologic time? How
might it look thousands or millions of years ago? What
are the plants and animals that are presently living in
your area? Do you think that the types of animals and
plants have changed much over time?
D. Discussing new concepts and
practicing new skills 1 Powerpoint presentation of Marker fossils and
(ACTIVITY PROPER) geological timescale.

Key Points:

 Fossils are plant or animal impressions


preserved in rocks that provide evidence
of life forms in the past.
 The geologic time scale is a record of the
geologic history of the Earth.
 Geologic time scale is divided into eons,
eras, periods, and epochs.
 Divisions within the geologic time scale are
based on the appearance or
disappearance of organisms at specific
times.
 A marker fossil is used to define and
identify subdivisions of the geologic time
scale. It is a fossil of a plant or animal that
existed for a relatively short period of
time.

E. Discussing new concepts and 1. Explain the relationship between marker fossils
practicing new skills 2 and geologic timescale.
(DEEPENING) 2. What are the four main units of geological time
scale?
3. What are the different remains found on each
time scale?
4. How does marker fossils used in identifying
subdivisions of the geologic time scale?
5. How the Earth's history can be interpreted from
the geologic time scale?

F. Developing mastery (POST


ACTIVITY) Group Activity: Significant events that happened at
different periods of time

Divide the class into three groups. Cite at least two


most popular events in various periods of time. These
events became clues to the evolving history of Earth
through time.

ERA EVENTS
Cenozoic
Mesozoic
Palaeozoic
Late Proterozoic

G. Finding practical applications of Group Activity: Investigating Geologic Time –


concepts and skills in daily living Building a Geologic Timescale
(APPLICATION)
In this exercise students will create a 460-foot long
geologic timescale in a nearby hallway or gym. By
making each foot section represent 100 million years
and placing a series of earth history events along the
way, students get an idea for how long 4.6 billion years
really is, and how insignificant our lives are within that
history.
H. Making generalizations and 1. How does marker fossils used in identifying
abstractions about the lesson subdivisions of the geologic time scale?
(GENERALIZATION)
I. Evaluating learning Essay Question:
(ASSESSMENT)
Choose one question and answer briefly.
1. How the Earth's history can be interpreted from
the geologic time scale?
2. Explain the relationship between marker fossils
and geologic timescale.

J. Additional activities for application Make a report on the compilation of various index
or remediation (REMEDIAL) fossils recorded through geologic time scale.
