Gifted Evidence of Evolution Lab Write-up
Now that you have gathered your evidence of evolution, present your findings in a letter to the
California Archeological Committee. Your letter must contain the following:


Fossil Record Lab:Which were oldest and youngest fossil discovered and how you decided to
organize the fossil record of the samples and dates provided to you based on your knowledge of
the fossil record?
What trend did you observe on your data table that supports how fossils are arranged
Evidence of Evolution Lab: How what you did by completing the Evidence of Evolution Lab
shows a clear definition between homologous and analogous structures. Provide examples of
what you did to support your thoughts
Using the information from Part III of the evidence of evolution lab, explain under what
circumstances can structures become vestigial?
Biochemical Lab: Which organism do humans share the most hemoglobin amino acids with?
Explain what you did in the biochemical lab to support your findings and results

Evidence of Evolution Bone Lab Activity
Choose any 2 to answer
Explain how shading in of the bones helped you to understand what homologous structures are?
What were the patterns that you observed about the bone arrangement in homologous structures?
How does this compare to the section you completed on analogous structures?
Summarize the major differences between analogous and homologous structures. Use the lab to
support your thoughts.
Using the information from Part III, under what circumstances can structures become vestigial?
Fossil Evidence Lab
Dear Clueless Summary
Describe the steps that you took to organize the 9 fossil record rock samples from California. How did
you make your decisions on the placement of the fossil pictures and dates based on your understanding
of the fossil record.
Which fossil(s) have survived the changes over time and how does your chart support these findings?
Biochemical Evidence:
Defend yourself:
Use your knowledge of biochemical evidence of evolution to describe which organism’s hemoglobin
proteins are more closely related to one another. Based on what you did in the lab, explain how you
knew which ones were closely related and which ones were not and which organism’s hemoglobin is
most related to the human.
