This Quarters Project
This quarter's project is a look into the history of the earth and the life that lived on it. We are going over the key concepts and ideas of how the earth was made and how it changed over the eons. Also, looking at how these changes made life change on earth. Exploring how the changes of the ecosystems of the earth caused different life forms to evolve over time. Exploring the evidence that helps scientist come up with these ideas. Students will be forming an argumentative paper uses evidence from different labs and reading we will do this quarter and then publish it to their own website. Helping students understanding how to work and be successful in the 21st century with modern technology.
Overview of Tree of Life
Overview of Tree of Life
The tree of life is used to explain the relationships between the different species on Earth. From microorganisms to trees to fungi and animals, life has evolved through time down countless pathways to provide us with the marvelous present day collection of different species. Some species are closely related and, in other cases, we have to travel back billions of years to connect other species.
The common belief in biology is that all living things evolved from a common ancestor more than 4 billion years ago. Now, many millions of different species call Earth home and, over the past 4 billion years, many more have come and gone.
Many scientists have devoted their lives to the giant task of working out the path life has taken to evolve from a single species into millions of different species. From one common ancestor, life has branched out to create a magnificent tree of life.
The branches of the tree of life are formed from different groups of organisms. Two branches that are close to each other contain closely related organisms. The first and largest branches from the tree of life are formed by three domains. The branches of each domain split into many more branches.
