1. Early Earth Foldable Fold 2 papers so that there are 4 flaps.
The Titles of the for should be:
Fossil Record
Miller and Urey
Endosymbiont Theory
Redi and Pasteur

2. Fossil Record—write the bullet below and then cut out the timeline
Used to tell when organisms lived
Absolute dating – based on radioactive measurements.
Relative dating - based on location in rock layers (older are at the bottom).

3. Basics of each Era
Precambrian—1st prokaryotes, 1st eukaryotes, 1st multicellular organisms
Paleozoic—1st fish, amphibians, reptiles, land plants, birds
Mesozoic—DINOSAURS and CONE-BEARING PLANTS
Cenozoic—MAMMALS AND FLOWERING PLANTS

4. Miller and Urey-- On the underside of the 2nd flap write the following:
Early earth atmosphere = Carbon dioxide, water, nitrogen, ammonia, methane and hydrogen gas
These early components combine with lightening gave the primordial soup mixture to make the first early organic molecules (building blocks of living things) according to Miller and Urey’s theory

5. Cut out picture and glue it down and write the following bullets.
Miller and Urey used this set up to simulate the early Earth’s conditions and made amino acids, fatty acids, nucleotides and monosaccharides, or the building blocks of organic molecules.
This proved it could have happened this way.

6. Endosymbiont Theory—write the following bullets
Building blocks then built the organic molecules, which formed the first cells—anaerobic, heterotrophic prokaryotes
Adaptations such as photosynthesis (made oxygen), aerobic respiration (used oxygen and made more ATP than before) occurred
Then larger cells engulfed smaller cells that did photosynthesis or aerobic respiration and used them in a symbiotic relationships (endosymbiont theory)

7. Cut out last picture and glue it down and write the bullet below.
This is how eukaryotes evolved from prokaryotes.
Progression of the evolution of organisms:
Anaerobic prokaryotes  Photosynthetic
prokaryotes  Aerobic prokaryotes 
Eukaryotes  Multicellular organisms

8. Redi and Pasteur – write bullet points and leave space for 2 pictures
For a long time scientists thought life came from non-living things (spontaneous generation)
Redi and Pastuer proved that life only came from other living things (biogenesis) with their experiments
Redi used covered rotting meat to prove maggots came from flies not the meat itself
Pasteur used flasks with broth that filtered out microorganisms in the air

9. Redi’s experiment
Pasteur’s experiment
