Unit 4 Map for Evolution

Essential Understanding

Evolution is central to modern science’s understanding of the living world. The basic idea of biological evolution is that Earth’s present day species developed from earlier species. Evolutionary processes allow some species to survive with little or no change, some to die out altogether, and other species to change, giving rise to a greater diversity of species. Science distinguishes itself from other ways of knowing and from other bodies of knowledge through the use of empirical standards, logical arguments, and skepticism, as science strives for explanations of the world.

Learning Objectives	No	Yes
1. I can describe the effects of environmental factors on natural selection.
2. I can relate genetic variability to adaptation potential and isolation to speciation.
3. I can compare selective breeding to natural selection and relate them to agricultural uses.
4. I can cite evidence to support biological evolution over time.
5. I can identify the role of mutation and recombination in evolution.
6. I can relate the nature of science to the historical development of the theory of evolution.
7. I can use observations and inferences in making interpretations related to evolution.
8. I can classify organisms using a classification tool such as a key or field guide.
9. I can generalize criteria used for classification of organisms.
10. I can explain how evolutionary relationships are related to classification systems.
11. I can justify the ongoing changes to classification schemes used in biology.

Science Language students should know and use:	adaptation, animal, biodiversity, classification scheme, dichotomy, evidence, evolution, fossil record, fungi, geologic record, hierarchy, homologous, inference, kingdom, molecular, mutation, natural selection, plant, protist, recombination, speciation, taxonomy, theory, vestigial structures, virus

The material listed above is what will be covered on the unit test as well as the state final.  Mastering the Learning Objectives, knowing and being able to use the science language, and having the essential understanding will help you be well prepared for these tests.

3rd Quarter Extra Credit - Available to EVERYONE

Type a one-page, single-spaced essay on how science has impacted your life.  Can be about any aspect of science.  Must be completed and turned in or emailed to my by 3 pm Thursday, March 31st.

2nd Quarter Extra Credit

Find an online or print science story or article that relates to what we have been talking about in class.  Print/cut it out, read it and then TYPE a one-page reflection or discussion on how it relates to our discussions this quarter.  Due Thursday at the end of your class period.

Cells Test Review

Please complete two of theses games with your partner for review.

On a piece of paper, indicate the scores of the questions you got right, and list the topics of the questions that you got wrong.  On the questions that you missed, please search for the answers in your notes, foldable or in your workbook.  If it can't be found in those items, make sure to list it on your review in order to make sure study it for the test.  You will turn your review in Thursday!
