I can explain the contributions to science of
Charles Darwin
I can identify and describe under which
conditions natural selection occurs.
I can describe identify the evidence for
evolution (geographic distribution of species,
fossils, homologous and vestigial structures,
DNA).
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.
I can explain how isolation leads to speciation.
Level of Understanding:
1 – Need extra help
2 – Getting it but need practice
3 – Got it!
