Biology evolution Lesson Plans
Teacher : Johnston,Hardman, Lipthratt, Hamilton
Course/ Subject: Biology
Date of Instruction: 8/22/23
Opening (I Do)
An engaging process for lesson introduction that is specifically planned to encourage equitable and purposeful student participation. Describe the instructional process that will be used to introduce the lesson.
TKES 1, 2, 3,4,5, 8,10


SB6. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to assess the theory of evolution.
C. Construct an argument using valid and reliable sources to support the claim that evidence from comparative morphology (analogous vs. homologous structures), embryology, biochemistry (protein sequence) and genetics support the theory that all living organisms are related by way of common descent.
Learning Target:
We are learning the evidence that supports the theory that all living things are related by common descent


Success Criteria: I know I’ll have it when I can:
Describe what is meant by ‘common descent’ or ‘common ancestor’
Explore evidence for common descent through embryology, morphology, protein/DNA sequencing
Explain using evidence the difference between homologous, analogous and vestigial structures.
Introduction/Connection:
