Materials/Resources needed for Unit/Lesson Plan: Computer with internet, Powerpoint, and online book. Predator Prey lab, Beak
adaptation lab, biochemical evidence lab, online interactive adaptation demonstration, and organizing organisms activity.
Goals and Objectives:
-Explain the history of life on Earth and
infer how geological changes provide
opportunities and constraints for
biological evolution.
Classwork/Activities/Homework:
-Predator vs Prey Lab
-Beak adaptations Lab
-Online adaptations of Jaguar’s Jaws
-Introductory Activity grouping organisms
based on shared characteristics.
Assessment/Evaluation
-Vocabulary practice
-Vocabulary from chapters 10 quiz
-Test over entire unit.
-Individual Practice on each section.
1
-Explain roles of catastrophic and
gradualistic processes in shaping planet
Earth.
-Provide support for the argument based
upon evidence from anatomy,
embryology, biochemistry, and
paleontology that organisms descended
with modification from common
ancestry.
-Research and explain the contributions
of 19th century scientists (Malthus,
Wallace, Lyell, Darwin) on the
formulation of ideas about evolution.
