STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
Theory of Evolution
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill focus)
• Explain the mechanisms of evolution.
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
• What are the mechanisms of evolution?
Students will understand:
• Explain how natural selection can impact allele
frequencies of a population.
• Describe the factors that can contribute to the
development of new species (e.g., isolating mechanisms,
genetic drift, founder effect, migration).
• Explain how genetic mutations may result in genotypic
and phenotypic variations within a population.
VOCABULARY: Radiometric dating,
radioisotope, half-life, microsphere, fossil,
cyanobacteria, eubacteria, archaebacteria,
endosymbiosis, protist, extinction, mass
extinction, mutualism, continental drift,
vertebrate, arthropod, Darwin, natural
selection, gradualism, punctuated
equilibrium, fossils, species formation,
population, adaptation, reproductive
isolation, paleontologist, vestigial structure,
homologous and analogous structures,
divergence, speciation, subspecies
STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will be able to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Distinguish an ecosystem from a community.
Describe the diversity of a representative ecosystem.
Sequence the process of succession.
Distinguish between producers and consumers.
Compare food webs and chains.
Describe the role of competition in shaping the nature of communities.
Summarize the importance of biodiversity.
Summarize the key features of the Earth’s major biomes.
• Summarize the main points of Darwin’s theory of evolution as it is stated
today.
• Summarize how biological molecules such as proteins and DNA are used as
evidence of evolution.
