Lesson Topic (Standard/Anchor): Bio.B.3
Student Objectives (Competencies/Outcomes):
Students will be able to: describe the role of DNA in
protein synthesis, reproduction and evolution

Performance Task: interactive notebook, discussion
Stage I – Desired Results
Big Ideas: Evolution is the result of
many random processes selecting for
the survival and reporduction of a
population
Essential Questions: How do we
scientifically explain the evidentce and
mechanisms for biological evolution?
Understanding Goals (Concepts): Mutations
alter a gene's genetic information, resulting
ina change in the protein that is made or
how or when a cell makes that protein. Most
mutations are evolutionary neutral.
Vocabulary: population, natural selection,
adaptation, isolation ,exinct, paleontologist,
vestigial structure, homologous structure,
gradualism, punctuated
equilibrium,industrial melanism, divergence,
speciation, ecological race, reproductive
isolation
Stage II – Assessment Evidence
Other Evidence: quizzes, tests, worksheets
Stage III – Learning Plan
Materials & Resources: Biology books, binders, colored pencils,
projector, video
