This lesson plan for 7th-grade science focuses on the contrast between Phanerozoic life-forms and earlier organisms, the impact of asteroid collisions on Earth's environment, and the natural processes that alter Earth's surface. Students will engage with the textbook, take notes from the PowerPoint presentation, and complete worksheets for grading. Key topics include the Cambrian Explosion, the increase in shallow seas during the Cambrian period, and formative assessments leading up to an upcoming test. Snow days are noted in the schedule.
