This course explores the fascinating transformations that led from ancient reptiles to modern avian species.

Before you begin the quiz, please write your full name before start the quiz. This helps us know who you are and keep track of your progress.

You’ve just completed three exciting lessons:
1. The Fiery Beginning and the First Flight
2. The Soaring Giants: How Dinosaurs Took to the Skies
3. The Evolution of Flight

Now it’s time to bring everything you’ve learned together into one creative project!

📌 Assignment Task:
Create a digital timeline that shows how flight evolved from Earth's beginning to the rise of birds.

✅ Your Timeline Should Include:
1. Three Key Time Periods
- 4.6 billion years ago: Formation of Earth and early water cycle
- 200 million years ago: Pterosaurs take to the skies
- 150 million years ago – today: Dinosaurs evolve into birds
2. At least 2 facts for each period (6 total).
Facts can include creatures, events, or scientific discoveries (e.g., Bernoulli’s Principle, feathers, oxygen levels, etc.)
3. 1 image or drawing per time period (can be digital art, sketches, or copyright-free images).
4. A short “Time Traveler Journal Entry” for each period (3–5 sentences) written from your point of view visiting that time.

📄 Final Reflection (Required):
At the end of your timeline, answer this question in a separate slide or document:
“Why is understanding the evolution of flight important?”
Include at least one surprising thing you learned and why it stood out to you.

💾 Submit:
Upload ONE file (PowerPoint or PDF). You may also take photos of a hand-drawn timeline and upload them as a PDF or image file.
