Your timeline will look like this:                                                                                                                              17                                                                                               History and the Concept of ‘Time’

Stage 3: Just like the modern calendar uses the birth of Jesus Christ as a starting                 point to calculate years, choose one event from the table to create your own                 time-periods like BC and AD or (BCE and CE) using a key event.                 For example, ‘My Grandpa moved to Mumbai city - GM.’ Mark it as ‘1’. ‘BGM’                 means before Grandpa moved to Mumbai and ‘AGM’ means after Grandpa                 moved to Mumbai.          22 BGM       3 BGM                    1           3 AGM        4 AGM          • Grandpa    • Grandpa                • Grandpa   • Grandpa    • Mother was          was born.    began                    moved to    started a    born.                       working in               Mumbai.     shop in                       his father's                         Mumbai.                       shop.    1288
3            LESSON 3: LIFE ON EARTH    1) The circular motion and great speed of an enormous, hot cloud of          gases and dust caused it to divide into several portions and create the          sun and the planets which revolve around it.    2) After the formation of Earth, it took about 80 crore years for its surface          to cool down and for water bodies to be formed on it.    3) Various kinds of unicellular living organisms first appeared in water.  4) Multicellular living things developed from unicellular ones.  5) Animals of some species lay eggs and their young ones are born from            eggs.

4                     LESSON 4: EVOLUTION                   1) Evolution is a gradual and continuous process by which certain internal                          physical changes occur in some animals of a species.                   2) Species of animals which are not capable of adapting to these changes                          become extinct in the process. Enormous dinosaurs became extinct, due to                          some sudden natural disaster or environmental change.                   3) Protozoa, the unicellular organisms, gave rise to many multicellular living                          things.                   4) The stages of evolution of animals are invertebrates and vertebrates, which                          include aquatic animals, amphibians, birds and mammals.                   5) Apes that moved around on the ground instead of trees are said to have                          gradually evolved to give rise to the human species.    2288

P_ l a e _ _ t _ lo _ ists             What do these scientists find? F _ s s _ l s             How do these scientists know which stage of evolution came first?          Hint:           The remains of the animals are found buried under the Earth.     Stage 2: The stages of the evolution of the horse are shown below:             Fill in the three missing names.           Find out how the hooves changed from the Eohippus to the modern                     horse.                                                                               Evolution
 Stage 3: The scientists who find the animals do not know exactly how they              look. They use the skeletons to help them understand how ancient animals              could have looked.               First, complete the picture of the chicken using the skeleton to help                       you draw.               Research the archaeopteryx to know what scientists have imagined                       it as. Scientists believe that the chicken evolved from the                       archaeopteryx.               Draw and colour the bird as you imagine it to be using the skeleton                       as a guideline.               Present your bird to the class.    36        an archaeopteryx  a chicken
5    LESSON 5: EVOLUTION OF MANKIND    1) After evolving from apes, humans gradually learnt to use their hands           effectively to make tools. The first of the species to have achieved this was           the Homo habilis who used stone tools to scrape meat.    2) The Homo erectus stood up straight and had a more developed brain. This           species had learnt to fetch and use fire, although they had not learnt how           to make fire.    3) The Neanderthal Man was physically big and strong. He used tools that           could hunt animals and knew the art of making fire.    4) The Homo sapiens made tools to suit different tasks. They produced a range           of sounds and had a well-developed language system.    5) The Homo sapiens were physically small as well as intellectual and cultured.           Their efforts were no longer to find food, but to enrich their lives using           creativity and skills.                                                                                            37    Evolution of Mankind
