Did it all start with a Bang? (modern theories)
Earth’s timescale/ Our time’s scale
Thinking geographically is clearly an important step in understanding the local, regional
and global phenomena. Doing this work in school Geography allows developing
citizenship skills that one day may be used in a more active participation in society.
• The responsibilities of global citizens
include respecting others, obeying rules
and laws, and setting a good example to
others. Global citizens feel a sense of
responsibility to help when the rights of
others are violated, no matter where in the
world they live. difference. When
individuals join with others, local action can
create global change.
A global citizen is someone who is aware of
and understands the wider world – and their
place in it. They take an active role in their
community and work with others to make our
planet more peaceful, sustainable and fairer. ...
Global citizenship helps young people to: Build
their own understanding of world events.
Goals:
1.1
To understand how the Earth formed starting at the Big
Bang, and how life began.
1.2
To understand how life evolved from simple cells, with
more and more complex life forms appearing, including
humans.
Big questions?
1.1
• Are regions “real” or constructions made by humans to facilitate the study of geography?
• How was Earth formed, and about how long ago?
• What was the Big Bang? How and when did life begin?
1.2
• How do geography, climate, and natural resources affect the way people live and work?
• Are regions “real” or constructions made by humans to facilitate the study of geography?
• Around when did humans like us (Homo sapiens) first appear – and where?
• What is a mass extinction?

1.1 Big understandings
▪ the Big Bang was a violent explosion of energy that occurred about 13.8 by a. It was
the start of the universe.
▪ Earth formed around 4.5 by a, from dust and gasses swirling around a new-born star,
our sun. The dust and gases were pulled together by the force of gravity.
▪ the moon was probably formed when another planet struck the Earth early in its
formation.
▪ as the Earth cooled, its crust hardened, and water vapor condensed to form the
oceans.
▪ the first living cells appeared about 3.5 billion years ago in the ocean. Those early
cells evolved over time into different living things.
▪ theories are not the same as facts. They fit the available evidence – but new evidence
could prove them wrong.
▪ a scientific theory is not a guess. It is a well-substantiated explanation of the natural
world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through
observation and experiment.
first species of humans
1.2 Big understanding
▪ over time, simple cells evolved into more complex cells, and
eventually, and eventually different types of cells joined, to form the
first soft bodied animals.
▪ around 475 mya, life spread from the ocean to land when simple
plants evolved from algae. The first animals moved onto land around
395 mya.
▪ evolution continued on land and in the ocean, but periodic mass
extinctions killed off many millions of species.
▪ the first species of humans appeared about 2mya in East Africa.
Modern humans appeared only 200 000 years ago.
▪ we learn about early plants and animals through the fossil record.
