Wait, how do we know how much oxygen was present before humans existed?

Because scientists have analyzed oxygen isotopes from gases trapped in __________.

What do you already know about EARLY EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE?

Predict how oxygen amounts have changed over time on Earth.
What would the line graph look like?

What is Table 1 data showing?

USING Table 1 data, on a separate graph paper, set up and graph "How OXYGEN Has Changed Over Time on Earth". 

Hint: You can copy how to set it up.
