Today in STEAM sessions, X24 created a timeline of life on Earth. With every step taking us back 10 million years – our students planted flags to show when major species evolved. We did this to try to understand the absolutely huge length of time that our planet has been around, and how long it took for life to evolve.
After walking the entire length of the XP site we had gone back just over 3 billion years. Another 150 metres would have taken us right back to the formation of the planet – 4.54 billion years ago.
At this scale, the whole of human civilisation would fit into half a centimetre!
Great work by X24, even in the freezing cold.
