I can explain the contributions to science of Charles Darwin
I can explain Lamarck’s hypothesis on how species evolve
& explain why it was proven wrong.
I can describe Malthus’s view of population growth and
how he contributed to Darwin’s understanding of natural
selection and evolution.
I can identify and describe under which conditions natural
selection occurs.
I can identify the data/evidence for evolution (geographic
distribution of species, fossils, homologous and vestigial
structures, DNA) and use the evidence to support a claim.
I can explain how the recent research on the Galapagos
finches shows that variation within a species increases the
likelihood of the species’ adapting to and surviving
environmental change.
I can identify the sources of genetic variation.
8
I can explain how isolation leads to speciation.
9
I can explain how organisms and organized & classified.
