GeoTime Learning Tutorial
IN:
What do you know about GeoTime? Write about or list
what you know (or think you know).
What don't you know about GeoTime? Write about or
list what you know you don't know about GeoTime .
Develop, create, and write here one (1) important
question that you have concerning GeoTime about which
you must learn more to be fluent, functional, and
successful in the 21st Century information age?
ABC Assessments Affect Your Grade!!!

Fail To Keep Your Area Clean
Fail To Report Lab Violations
Fail To Keep INB Out!!!!!!
Put Specimens On Table Top
Not Use Safety Clothing/Eyewear
ALWAYS:
Put Specimens On A PaperTowel
Raise Your Hand To Speak
Be Punctual With Your Work
Work-Remain With Your Team

GeoTime Learning Tutorial
LEARN:
You must learn about Science to be fluent, functional,
and successful in the 21st Century information age.
Use informational sources suited to your best practices
in learning to take notes and study about this topic.
Weekly, SQ3R, or Cornell Notes taking are appropriate
approaches to learning from assigned readings.
However, depending on your best practices in learning,
other ways of recording information and writing to learn
may be appropriate. Your success depends on your
weekly using a writing to discover and learn practice
along with your InterActive Notebook (INB).
Using your InterActive Notebook (INB) is an essential
practice for finding success in this Biology course. Use
your INB daily in every class, and for your independent
learning (and study) in this course. Every class should
have an INB entry, dated, with IN, LEARN, and OUT
entries evidencing your learning about this Science.
Remember: IN-------------LEARN-------------OUT!

GeoTime Learning Tutorial
OUT:
You have endeavored to learn about GeoTime to be
fluent, functional, and successful in the 21st Century
information age.
Now, write about what you have studied and learned
about this topic and how you have gone about your
study. This is important. If you have not learned, or not
learned enough to keep pace with what is required in 21
Century information age, then, the iterative process
strongly requires that you make some changes in your
efforts and/or approach.
What do you think? How is your learning and study
working out?

GeoTime Learning Tutorial
Content Knowledge:
Describe the theoretical formation of Earth? How did it
come to be?
Explain Earth's age and the theoretical approaches to
finding the age of Earth.
What is radiometric dating? How is it used to date living
and non-living matter?
Describe the famous experiment done by Miller and Urey.

GeoTime Learning Tutorial
Content Knowledge:
What would be the meaning of the "origins of heredity?"
What would have been the role of RNA in the formation of
the first cells?
What does science infer today about the nature of the
first cells on Earth? Explain.
Define "Archaea" and what is chemosynthesis?
About three (3) billion years ago, cells were capable of
photosynthesis and aerobic respiration. Explain.

Content Knowledge:
How did the first Eukaryotes come to be? What
differences did they have from Prokaryotes?
What role does it look as if endosymbiosis play in the
formation of more complex cells?
Who is the scientist largely associated with the
Endosymbiosis Theory? What do you think? Does this
seem to be a logical and plausible explanation for the
development of more complex cells (Eukaryotes)?
