Tuesday
Standard(s):
SB6. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to assess the theory of evolution.
a. Construct an explanation of how new understandings of Earth’s history, the emergence of new species from pre-existing species, and our understanding of genetics have influenced our understanding of biology.
LT:
We are learning about the process of Natural Selection.
SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Create a model to identify evidence of natural selection
Describe examples of natural selection
Identify the 3 factors needed for natural selection
Model the changes in rock pocket mice fur color over time as evidence of natural selection
Analyze other occurrences to determine if natural selection has occurred.
Lesson/Activity:
Pesticide reading comprehension
Rock Pocket mice activity
Peppered moths

Wednesday
Standard(s):
SB6. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to assess the theory of evolution.
a. Construct an explanation of how new understandings of Earth’s history, the emergence of new species from pre-existing species, and our understanding of genetics have influenced our understanding of biology.
LT:
We are learning about scientific evidence for evolution

SC:(I know I’ll have it when I can…)
Explain how fossils show that life on Earth has changed over time
Create a model to differentiate between radioactive and relative dating
Explain the Law of Superposition
Compare Darwin’s and Lamarck’s theories of how evolution occurs
Lesson/Activity:
Quick quiz
Connect prior knowledge/diagrams and questions
Guided notes; Evidence of Evolution - Fossil Record
Lamark vs Darwin (who do we agree with)
Study card 10-12

Thursday
Standard(s):
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
LT:
We are learning the evidence that supports the theory that all living things are related by common descent

SC:(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.
Lesson/Activity:
Guided notes - Evidence of evolution (comparative morphology)
