Evolution the movie and what happened on Earth
The movie has two interesting "Block Buster" fixes.
One is an incredible rate of evolution. There was an incredible rate in the Cambrium Period. This was 550 mybp.
Two the life forms find oxygen toxic,this was also true for all the life forms that existed before photosynthesis.

New Topic Evolution
Topic Outcomes
1. give the definition of "Species"
2. Give and example of variation with in species
3. give a rough figure for the number of different species of living things which exist on present day Earth
4. rough figure for Austral
5. Give one reason why it is important to try to conserve biodiversity
6.give one practical suggestion concerning something a school student could do to help preserve biodiversity in Australia
7. draw simple conslusion as about the past from observations made of a rock and/or fossil in the present
8. explain how a fossil can form
9. describe why scientists believe that life on earth has not always been the same
10 arrange rock strata in order of geological age given the types of living things found fossilised in each rock and a suitable key
11.give a selection of reasons why a plant or animal may become extinct.
12.give and example of a plant or animal which lived in Australia in the past. which has become extinct.
13. describe one way in which scientist are able to estimate how old a fossil is.
14 describe why the fossil record of life on earth could lead to the suggestion that life forms have evolved over time.
15. Describe the way in which Lamarck suggested living things may have changed over time including mention of evidence which showed his theory was not valid.
16. Explain what Darwin meant by "natural selection' and the way he suggested it could have lead to the evolving or changing of life forms on earth over time
17. describe at least two pieces of evidence which lead Darwin to suggest his theory of evolution by natural selection.
18. explain how Darwin's theory of evolution has been modified with the advent of modern theories about genetics.

About Me
- drhill
- I come from a Science family: My father Geoffrey Hill was Australia's first computer programmer on CSIRAC the fourth computer in the world. He is credited with invention of Computer music and the development of “Interprogram” a language before Basic. My PhD is in Atomic and Molecular Physics. I have researched the activated oxygen layer above the ozone layer, and 'Assigned' the world's smallest molecule. At the University of Toronto I researched high power UV lasers. I have specialized in automation in fibre optics. This developed into research in Machine Intellect and Robots. I have enjoyed work as an Explainer with Questacon and my time as a part-time soldier. I currently teach High School Science at Epping Boys’ High.
