<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 110%;">2.) Precambrian- the oldest division of geologic time, named after Cambria, Wales, where fossils of this period were found.

Mesozoic- relating to the third era. <span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 110%;">6.) Cenozoic- relating to the latest era. <span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">7.) Plate tectonics- puzzle of the continents <span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">8.) Pangaea- giant super continent meaning all lands <span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">9.)

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">3 Questions: <span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">1.) Why did they name the giant super continent pangaea? <span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">2.)

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I think the point of watching these videos were to learn by hearing and seeing at the same time because if we just listen to the teacher then we don't really get the chance of knowing what really happened and we get a better understanding by seeing. I also think the point of watching these videos were to teach us that we have to pay attention very closely in order to learn.
