After an extensive redesign, our field guide has become the new Life on Earth Pocket Chart. It contains more updated science information including a new reference section, more graphics, and two educational activities.

The outer folder introduces the concept and history of evolutionary trees, and how they best illustrate life’s evolution.

The chart, ‘A History of Life on Earth’ provides a “big picture” perspective on the evolutionary relationships of all life on our planet. It links our tree of life graphic, which contains all current life, and our earth history graphic through a centered geological time scale–connecting living plants, microbes, fungi, and animals to their evolutionary history, to other organisms, and to Earth’s environment when they first evolved. Supplemental details support better understanding of the graphics.

The front includes . . .

• the latest science research - updated with each printing

• timing & evolution of current life, to scale

• geological period descriptions & events

• continental drift & temperature fluctuations through time

• major extinction events

• helpful insights around the tree for better understanding

The back includes . . .

• what is life

• guide to evolution, how it happens, & evolutionary patterns

• NEW reference section describing the branches of life

NEW, the Pocket Chart now includes a set of tree of life questions that encourage exploration of the tree and an earth history timeline project helps visualize the immensity of deep time.

Chart Measures 18 x 24”.

All Pocket Chart contents are made from 100% post-consumer fiber and are recyclable.
