Step 1: Go to YouTube and watch "Origin of life" the BBC, hosted by Naturalist David Attenborough
Step 2: While you watch, take notes on evolutionary changes, mass extinctions, and developmental stages required of the first life forms produces you and how natural selection produces evolutionary changes over long periods of time.
Step 3: After the film (58min long), answer the questions below.
Requirements: Provide detail give examples for each and from the film to support your answers. Each answer should be at least 1 paragraph in length. Typed, 10 point font, double spaced.
1. Describe how palaeontologists have been able to use fossil evidence to piece together the history of early life. Where do they find evidence? type
What of material is it? How can we understand what happened millions of years ago?
2. What does the term "snowball earth" refer to? How did it contribute to evolutionary changes? (2 points)
3. What evidence did the fossils found at Mistaken Point prove about the evolution of early life? (2 points)
4. Describe the fossil evidence for the first animals capable of movement, why was this a "better" strategy than a fixed location? (2 points)
5. What fossil evidence has been found that identifies the time when animals used sexual reproduction rather than asexual reproduction, how was this strategy of sexual reproduction beneficial to the animals? (2 points)

Step 1: Go to YouTube and type in "History of the world in two hours" made by the History channel
Step 2: While you watch, take notes on major geologic changes, mass extinctions, and developmental stages of the evolution of life.
Step 3: After the film (1 1/2 hour long), answer the questions below.
Requirements: Provide detail for each and give examples from the film to support your answers. Each answer should be at least 1 paragraph in length. Typed, 10 point font, double spaced.
1. List significant geologic/environmental changes that led to the formation of early life. Describe how these changes made it possible for early life to form. How complex was early life? Where did it likely first develop? (2 points)
2. List significant geologic/environmental changes that led to the formation of human life. Describe how these changes made it possible for privates to develop intelligence. Explain the dietary, physical and developmental changes that allowed some primates to dominate and even leave Africa. (2 points)
3. Explain how mass extinctions shaped the course of evolution. Choose three separate mass extinctions and describe the resulting impact on dominate plants/animals (make sure to discuss the mass extinction that occurred 65 million years ago that shaped mammal evolution). (2 points)
4. How did farming change the development of mankind? (2 points)
5. Completed Notes detailing major geologic changes, mass extinctions, and developmental stages of the evolution of life attached (2 points)
