13. Try creating a chart for yourself that illustrates the major events in Earth's history. For
example, you could chart major events within each of the kingdoms (e.g.: appearance of major
phyla, movement onto land, appearance of important features such as seeds in plants and amniote
eggs in animals, major extinctions), and how these correspond to major geologic and climactic
changes (e.g. the oxygen revolution, the formation of Pangaea). I do not expect you to remember
the exact dates of these events, but you should be able to place them into chronological order,
and to know which events happened in each era (PreCambrian (=Archaean+Proterozoic),
Paleozoic, Mesozoic, Cenozoic). You do still need to know the dates for the boundaries of the
eras. Tip: use the geologic time line from your textbook as a starting point, and add your own
notes or pictures to it that help you remember the big events..
