MONTESSORI THE GREAT LESSONS : The Permian Period



 The Coming of Life



 The Permian Period

   The name  comes from a part of Russia 
called Perm, situated at the foot of
 the Ural Mountains, where the first
fossils of this period were found.



 It was a very cold period.
Some amphibians returned to the
water to live while others learned to live
entirely on land by evolving into reptiles.



 In the beginning these reptiles 
were small, but having no enemies
 they became masters of the land, 
continually multiplying and growing
 larger and larger  until they
 became true giants.



  Instead of depositing their eggs
 in water, they now laid them in
 the sand  where the rays of 
the sun could warm them. 



  By this time many plants and
animals lived on the land and the
Paleozoic Era came to a close.
