“Who’s Correct?” Wednesday
LT: We are learning to interpret and analyze data patterns in the fossil record that document
The existence diversity and extinction of organisms and their relationships to modern organisms.
SC: We can successfully interpret and analyze data patterns in the fossil record that document
the existence diversity and extinction of organisms and their relationships to modern organisms by
graphing data and answering questions.
