Geologic Time & Early Life - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

  3. The Geologic Period in which dinosaurs evolved
    Triassic
  4. Micro-organism that changed Earth's atmosphere by producing oxygen
    Cyanobacteria/blue-green algae
  5. The shortest subdivision of the Geologic Time Scale
    Epoch
  6. Experiment that simulated Earth's early conditions that produced amino acids
    Miller-Urey
  7. A common method of dating anything that was once alive
    Radiocarbon Dating
  8. Geologic Era in which the dinosaurs reigned "The Age of the Dinosaurs"
    Mesozoic
  9. Which scientist created the modern idea of evolution?
    Charles Darwin
  10. These animals are thought to be the descendants of the Saurischian dinosaurs
    Birds
  11. Geologic Period characterized by an explosion in the diversity of life
    Cambrian
  12. When Nature chooses which organisms survive based on their adaptations
    Natural Selection
  13. The proposed geological epoch dating from the commencement of significant human impact an Earth's geology and ecosystems
