What did you do in lab?

This week in lab we worked on putting different events in order on a timeline as an introduction to geologic time. We started off by placing five different events on the timeline in the place where we thought they would fit. These five events were the first appearance of humans, when dinosaurs were on Earth, the first land plants as well as the first land animals, and lastly, the creation of the moon. Next, we used Earth Viewer to search for multiple events that took place and when they took place. Some events that we looked into were the first land plants, which took place 470 million years ago, as well as Pangaea which took place 300-200 million years ago.
