Climate during the Silurian Period

The Earth entered a long warm greenhouse phase. The climate caused changes in the flora like the ones seen above.

Development of planet Earth during the Paleozoic Era



This picture represents the Paleozoic geography.

DAY FOUR: Finishing our blog and practicing our oral presentation

Now that we are done with the visual presentation we have decided it is time to focus on the oral presentation and on finishing the blog with all the information needed. We are one day away from the presentation and we are practicing our oral presentation and giving our final touches to the blog. We have included in it: photos, references, a link to the powerpoint presentation and the schedule of work that we followed. Now we are ready to present our work.

DAY THREE: Preparing th Powerpoint presentation adn the 3D Presentation

Now that we have gathered all the information related to our topic, we decided to make a small meetting at German's house that we could summarize all the information we had obtained. After summarizing the information, we created a Powerpoint presentation to inform the group about the research we had done. We included in our presentation: summarized information about the Silurian and Devonian Period, photos, maps representing the development of the Earth, and tables that presented the various eras and periods of Earth's development.

DAY TWO: Staring our research

We were assigned a group project related about the Paleozoic Era, focusing in the Silurian and Devonian Periods. We decided that the working places would be the school facilities and a house. Considering the diversity of the project, we decided it was more efficient if we first did a research about the entire Paleozoic Era. This research included: climate, flora, fauna. We then focused on researching the Silurian and Devonian Periods focusing int the main topics we discussed previously.

DAY ONE

After studying briefly the topic assigned we did a power search to get more familiarized with the topic. During our first meeting, we divided the work and created a schedule so that we could work effectively. We decided to begin first with the the written work and later on with the visual presentation.
