LESSON 1 Origin of Life on Earth Learning Objectives • Describe how Earth was formed. • Describe the events that happened during Earth's formation. When and where did life possibly start? Many cultures develop different versions about the origin of life. However, modern scientists are still exploring the works of some well-known experts in the history of science in search of the true origin of life. Earth is said to be a little over 4.5 billion years (Gigaannum or Ga) old. The oldest material found on Earth that is estimated to be 4.3 billion years old is a zircon crystal. No one witnessed how Earth was formed and what exactly happened during that moment, but there are evidence that show how it all started. Earth's earliest times were geologically violent. There were continuous bombardment from meteorites. As Earth cooled and the surface solidified, the first solid rocks formed. Continents were not yet present; only a huge ocean with scattered small islands. Events such as erosion, sedimentation, and volcanic activities that were assisted by possible meteor impacts, gradually created the oceanic plates, which later evolved into continents. About 3.8 Ga, life on Earth initially began with single-celled organisms called prokaryotes. Over a billion year later, multicellular life evolved. Some studies show that life-forms began to evolve around 570 million years ago (Ma). This evolution started with early arthropods, followed by the fish (530 Ma), and land plants and forests (475 Ma and 385 Ma, respectively). It was only at around 200 Ma that early mammals emerged. Homo sapiens is believed to have evolved about 200000 years ago. Many things were revealed using fossil evidence, yet many questions remain unanswered about the origin of life. Science is continuously searching for answers on what was in the beginning.

RPMS Quiz: Quality vs. Efficiency 1. A teacher spends five hours creating a highly interactive digital game for a single 40-minute lesson. This is an example of prioritizing: • A) Quality over Efficiency • B) Efficiency over Quality • C) Administrative Competence • D) Resource Management • Hint: The focus is on high-level engagement, but the time investment is very high. 2. Which of the following best describes "Efficiency" in the context of the RPMS? • A) Submitting all MOVs and reports on or before the deadline with minimal errors. • B) Ensuring 100% of students pass the quarterly examination. • C) Creating the most aesthetically pleasing portfolio in the department. • D) Conducting home visits for every single student in a class of 50. • Hint: Look for the option that emphasizes timeliness and resource use. 3. Using a "template" or a "reusable slide deck" for lesson planning is a strategy to improve: • A) Efficiency • B) Instructional Diversity • C) Subject Matter Mastery • D) Classroom Discipline • Hint: Templates reduce the time spent on repetitive formatting. 4. If a teacher provides detailed, personalized feedback to every student but submits the grades two weeks late, they have achieved: • A) High Quality, Low Efficiency • B) Low Quality, High Efficiency • C) High Quality, High Efficiency • D) Low Quality, Low Efficiency • Hint: The work itself is excellent, but the timing is poor. 5. Which tool improves Efficiency without sacrificing the Quality of assessment data? • A) Automated Google Forms for multiple-choice quizzes. • B) Giving everyone a passing grade to save time on checking. • C) Writing long paragraphs of feedback on 200 paper-based essays. • D) Skipping assessments entirely to finish the syllabus faster. • Hint: Look for a balance where technology handles the "busy work." 6. When discussing Quality in your RPMS portfolio, which "Means of Verification" (MOV) is most appropriate? • A) Sample of student work with constructive teacher comments. • B) A logbook showing you arrived at school at 7:00 AM daily. • C) A certificate for attending a 1-hour webinar. • D) A photo of your organized teacher's cabinet. • Hint: Quality is evidenced by the impact on student learning. 7. The concept of "Doing the right things" (Effectiveness) represents: • A) Quality • B) Efficiency • C) Speed • D) Compliance • Hint: "Doing the right things" is about results; "Doing things right" is about process. 8. How does "Efficiency" help a teacher maintain "Quality" in the long run? • A) It prevents burnout by optimizing workload, leaving energy for creative teaching. • B) It allows the teacher to take more side jobs. • C) It ensures the teacher never has to talk to parents. • D) It proves that the teacher is smarter than their peers. • Hint: Consider the relationship between teacher well-being and performance. 9.
