- The document provides learning activity sheets for students covering topics in Earth and life science over 7 weeks.
- Week 1 focuses on the origin and early forms of life, discussing theories for how life began and evidence from fossils. Key theories mentioned include special creation, panspermia, spontaneous generation, evolution, biogenesis, hydrothermal vents, and biochemical evolution. Early life forms included prokaryotic cells like bacteria and archaea and early eukaryotic cells.
- The activities guide students to discuss why studying the origin of life is important, create a diagram of how life formed on Earth, and reflect on what topics around the beginning of life most intrigued them based on what they learned.
The document summarizes the evolution of eukaryotic cells from their origins around 1.6-2.1 billion years ago to the modern diversity of life. Key events included the engulfment of prokaryotes to form organelles like mitochondria, the development of complex cells and multicellular organisms through sexual reproduction, adaptations that allowed colonization of land, and the rise of major eukaryotic groups like plants, animals, and fungi. The evolution of eukaryotes has significantly increased biological complexity and driven the innovation of life on Earth over billions of years.
The earliest life on Earth were simple prokaryotic cells that existed around 3.5-3.9 billion years ago. These included stromatolites, primitive photosynthetic bacteria that formed along coastlines. As these prokaryotes became more widespread, they changed the atmosphere to include more oxygen. The first eukaryotic cells evolved around 2.1 billion years ago and included protists like protozoa and algae. Eukaryotic cells developed in two stages: infolding of the cell membrane to form internal structures like the nucleus, and endosymbiosis where mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from engulfed prokaryotic cells and became cellular organelles.
Origin Of Life: Are we here by chance? Theories on origin of life, Scientific and Special Creation. Different Theories of life's origin including Aristotle's theory, Pasteur, Redi and Leuwenhook experiment, Abiogenesis, etc.
Fossils and its evolutionary significance.
The document discusses several key topics related to biology:
1. It outlines various divisions and subfields of biology including cytology, histology, anatomy, physiology, morphology, genetics, embryology, paleontology, evolution, ecology, and taxonomy.
2. It also discusses subfields related to zoology like carcinology, conchology, entomology, and others focused on specific animal groups.
3. Theories on the origin of life are presented, including divine creation, spontaneous generation, marine life, panspermia, and Oparin's physico-chemical theory of chemical evolution from natural reactions on the early Earth.
Life is a property that distinguishes living organisms which have organic processes like signaling and self-sustaining mechanisms from non-living things. There are many forms of life including plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria. Biology is the study of life, however there is currently no consensus on a definition of life. One definition is that organisms maintain homeostasis, are composed of cells, have a life cycle involving metabolism, growth, adaptation, response to stimuli, reproduction, and evolution. Life first appeared on Earth over 4 billion years ago in the form of microorganisms.
The document discusses theories on the origin of life on Earth and evidence that supports how early life began. It describes how scientists believe life first emerged around 3.5 billion years ago based on evidence from microfossils. Early life forms were prokaryotes like cyanobacteria that existed in mats and stromatolites. Cyanobacteria were some of the first organisms to produce oxygen, changing the atmosphere to support more complex life. Further evidence from fossil layers shows the evolution of diverse plants and animals over time.
Life is an evolving journey shaped by growth, adaptation, and connection, encompassing physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions as individuals and ecosystems navigate change, purpose, and the complexity of existence. It intertwines cycles of birth, growth, decay, and renewal, driven by curiosity, challenges, and discoveries. Life is dynamic, embracing relationships, creativity, and the pursuit of meaning, unfolding uniquely for each being.

The document discusses the history of life on Earth from its origins to early multicellular life. It describes early scientific theories on the beginning of life and experiments providing evidence against spontaneous generation. Modern scientists believe life began through natural chemical reactions forming organic molecules, as supported by the Miller-Urey experiment. Early life was prokaryotic and anaerobic, with eukaryotes and complex cells developing later through endosymbiosis. Fossils provide evidence of the progression and environments of early life. Radiometric dating allows determining the absolute ages of fossils.
The document discusses the origins and evolution of life on Earth from its earliest beginnings to present day. It describes early scientific theories on how life began, including spontaneous generation and biogenesis. Miller and Urey's experiment provided evidence that simple organic molecules could form from chemical reactions, and these molecules became the building blocks of cells. Fossil and geological evidence show that early life was prokaryotic and anaerobic, and evolved over billions of years from simple to more complex multicellular forms through natural selection and genetic changes within populations. The fossil record and comparative anatomy provide multiple lines of evidence that all life on Earth shares a common ancestor.
Life is distinguished from non-living things by biological processes like metabolism, homeostasis, reproduction, and response to stimuli. It first appeared on Earth over 3.8 billion years ago in the form of microorganisms. While there is no consensus on a definition, life is generally characterized as open systems that maintain homeostasis, are made of cells, undergo metabolism and reproduction, and evolve over time. Biology studies the diverse forms of life including plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms.
Life is defined as organisms that have organic processes like signaling and self-sustaining mechanisms to distinguish living things from non-living things. There are many forms of life like plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. Biology studies life and some definitions of life include organisms maintaining homeostasis, being made of cells, having a lifecycle, undergoing metabolism, and reproducing. The origin of life is thought to have begun through abiogenesis where non-living matter transitioned into living organisms through increasing complexity over time rather than a single event.
1. Life began on Earth at least 3.5 to 4 billion years ago based on evidence from rocks and fossils. Early life forms were single-celled prokaryotes like bacteria that lacked nuclei.
2. Experiments have shown that conditions on early Earth could have led to the formation of organic molecules like amino acids from inorganic starting materials. Fossils of early life like stromatolites provide further evidence for when life began.
3. Multicellular life evolved from unicellular eukaryotes over time through cell specialization and the formation of colonies. Evidence from layered fossil records shows how different life forms evolved and adapted over billions of years.

Life is defined as organic processes that distinguish living things from non-living things. There are many forms of life including plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria. Biology is the study of life. The earliest life forms on Earth are believed to be bacteria that emerged between 4.28-4.54 billion years ago. Cells are considered the basic structural and functional units of all living things.
The document discusses the timeline of life on Earth from its beginnings over 4 billion years ago to present day humans. It notes that the earliest life forms were prokaryotes that lived 3.5 billion years ago, and that stromatolites provide evidence of early life. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria emerged around 3 billion years ago, allowing oxygen to accumulate in the atmosphere. Eukaryotes developed around 2 billion years ago, followed by multicellular life around 1.2 billion years ago. Various eras and periods are outlined, including the rise of dinosaurs in the Mesozoic and modern humans in the Cenozoic.
The document summarizes key events in early Earth history based on evidence from the fossil record:
- Early Earth had a toxic atmosphere but cooled enough for liquid water oceans to form around 3.8 billion years ago. Early organic molecules formed in simulations of Earth's atmosphere.
- The first life forms were unicellular bacteria that evolved around 3.5 billion years ago without oxygen. Photosynthetic bacteria introduced oxygen to the atmosphere around 2.2 billion years ago.
- Eukaryotic cells evolved from symbiotic relationships between prokaryotes around 2 billion years ago, resulting in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Sexual reproduction and multicellularity further increased genetic variation.

Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APM’s Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APM’s PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMO’s within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.

2. INTRODUCTION
This lesson will help you understand the
historical development of the concept of life
based on emerging pieces of evidence. This
will be trace back the events, processes, and
loving organisms existed on earth from the
earliest time to present.
3. OBJECTIVES
1.Identify the sequence of events at the history
of life on Earth.
2.Name the pieces of evidence on the evolution
of life on Earth.
3.Recognize the importance of knowing the
history of life on Earth.
4. What is LIFE
SCIENCE?
Life Science is collection of
disciplines that is made up of
theories and principles that tackles
the structure and function of living
things starting from the molecules
level up to
entire ecosystem.
5. CHARACTERISTICS OF LIFE
They’re made up of cells They exhibit metabolism
They grow and develop
Maintain homeostasis
They are capable of reproduction
They respond to their environment
6. TIMELINE OF APPEARANCE OF LIFE FORMS
4.6 – 3.8 BYA - The early Earth is said to be violent because of the
meteorites and volcanic eruptions. With this condition, Zircon
Crystal was formed.
3.5 BYA – Life on Earth initially began with prokaryotes, discovered
in discovered in sedimentary rock formations called stromatolites.
3.0 BYA – the first photosynthetic organism thrived the earth which
is blue green algae called Cyanobacteria.
7. 2.0 BYA - Appearance of the first eukaryotes and the influx of
multicellular organisms occurred 1.2 billion years ago.
500 BYA – The Paleozoic era when the trilobites and cephalopods became
dominant in the ocean particularly during the Cambrian and Ordovician.
251 – 65.5 BYA – The Mesozoic era the age if reptiles that has a span 251
to 65.5 BYA divided into Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous period.
8. 250 TYA – The Cenozoic era recent life and based on
paleontological evidence. Homo Erectus have evolved.
9. The universe is about 4.6 billion years old. Life an earth,
probably began only between 3.5 and 4.0 billion years ago.
Evidence from fossil records show the emergence of the
difference life forms. The common ancestors of all life was
prokaryotic. Since, oxygen was scare on the early Earth, so
the ancestral cell must also have been an anaerobic. There are
some challenges encountered in searching for the evidence in
early life.
10. Cells are microscopic and most have no part so
fossilize. The tectonic plate movement have destroyed
nearly all the rocks have been heated or undergone
processes that destroy the traces of biological material.
At present, the oldest cell microfossil (microscopic
fossils) are filaments from 3.5 billion-years-old rocks in
Western Australia
11. The filaments resemble chain of modern photosynthetic bacteria and the
rocks in which they occur are the remains of ancient stromatolites.
The researchers look for biomarkers specific to eukaryotes. It is a substance
that occur only or predominantly in cells of a specific type. Eukaryotes are
organisms having true nucleus. The DNA is enclosed within the nucleus
whereas DNA of most prokaryotes lies enclosed in the cell’s cytoplasm. The
first eukaryotes were protist.
12. MEANING
Fossil- a fossil is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once living thing from
past geological age.
Fossil record- history of life as documented by fossils, the remains or imprints of organisms
from earlier geological periods preserved in sedimentary rocks.
Prokaryote- are organism whose cells lack a nucleus and another organelles.
Biomarker- a measurable substance in an organism whose presence is indicative of some
phenomenon such as disease, infection or any environmental exposure.
Eukaryotes- an organism whose cells have nucleus.
Protist- a protist is any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plants or fungus.
13. TYPES OF ORGANISMS
EUKARYOTES
any cell or organism that possess a
-
PROKARYOTES
-
any organism that lacks a distinct nucleus and
other organelles due to the absence of internal
membranes
clearly defined nucleus
animals, plants, fungi, & protists
May be unicellular or
multicellular
cell membrane
cytoplasm
DNA
ribosomes
Bacteria and archaea
Unicellular
16. PROKARYOTES
Prokaryotes are organisms
whose cells lack a nucleus and
other organelles. Prokaryotes
are divided into two distinct
groups: the bacteria and the
archaea, which scientists
believe have unique
evolutionary lineages.
