Welcome to "From Stardust to Dinosaurs to Today: The Geologic Time Scale"! In this class, we will examine the history of our planet and life on Earth in a scientific capacity. Beginning with the formation of the Earth about 4.6 billion years ago, we will learn about what early Earth may have been like, when life first began, and how plants and animals evolved to create the modern species that exist today. All of this fascinating information will be presented within the lens of the Geologic Time Scale; students will learn about the four main Eras (Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic), and the ten main Periods within these Eras. The information in this class will be learned through a combination of lecture-style slides and class discussions, along with a short video clip. New information, vocabulary, and photos will be presented in slides, and as a class we will answer questions and have discussions together! All students are provided a handout to document their learning throughout the class by answering the questions. They will also be provided with web access to the slides -- no need to worry about writing down all the new information! No prior knowledge is needed. This is the "trial class" of the Let's Explore Earth series, a group of lessons designed to introduce students to various areas of study in the field of Geosciences. Please feel tree to take this class before enrolling in the 7-week course. (Please note that all theories and information contained in this lesson are the widely-accepted theories in the current scientific community).
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the main Eras and Periods of the Geologic Time Scale, including their names and approximate times in history. Students will understand how the Earth was likely formed, and the process of how different life forms evolved throughout time. They will gain an understanding of the chronological timeline of Earth's past, and understand that humans evolved only very recently. Students will also use their new knowledge to make predictions about what Earth may look like in the far future.Other Details

Hello everyone! My name is Annette and I'm a teacher originally from Toronto, Canada, but currently located in Nicaragua.
I have both passion AND experience teaching a wide variety of science topics. I developed an intense interest in geological and biological sciences from a very young age, and earned a Bachelor of Science (Honours Biology) and a Bachelor of Education, both from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. I have two years' in-school experience teaching Geography, Biology, and General Science for grades 7-13 in Canada and England, and three years of experience teaching English as a Foreign Language online. I’ve been teaching classes in my subject areas here on Outschool for four years. However, I've been working with children in a variety of other settings for over 13 years! Here on Outschool, I offer a range of science classes and courses for approximately 10-16 year olds. I am also queer and I'm VERY passionate about providing a safe, inclusive, and welcoming class environment for all of my students. My classroom is a place for all who need a safe space to learn.
*Please note:
-I always do my best to respond to any messages or questions within 24 hours
-All refunds follow Outschool's moderate refund policy. Please contact me directly for extenuating circumstances
-For learners outside of the set age range, or for learners with special requests or needs, feel free to contact me! I always do my best to accommodate every learner.
-All classes are designed to run for the designated amount of time. However, depending on number of learners and learner personalities, class may run slightly over or slightly under time.
-Absolutely NO homophobia, transphobia, racism, or bullying of any kind will be tolerated in my classes. Students who display such behaviour will be immediately removed from class with no refund.
When I'm not teaching I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially surfing and hiking. I also enjoy reading, crocheting, and relaxing with my cat Loki when I’m not outside. I also love travelling and have visited 37 different countries!Reviews
