Learning Target:
I can describe how organisms either
adapt or goes extinct when there is
a change in environment
I can analyze organisms at the zoo and I can construct an explanation based on
make reasoning statement that reason my evidence from the zoo that
traits to their environment
describes how an organisms variation in
traits increases it’s survivability.

Develop and use a model to describe
why structural changes to genes
(mutations) located on chromosomes
may affect proteins and may result in

Construct an explanation based on
evidence that describes how genetic

Learning Target:
1. I can Explain How proteins
are made
2. I can Describe How changes
to the gene can cause
mutations
3. I can Explain How our
physical and behavioral
characteristics can be

Bellringer- what is variation in
traits
CraftHook- HMI – brown mouse video
with notes
Gather:
1. Guided notes ( Define
natural selection, give
examples of environment
changing and organism
changing (environment
changes first then
organism either adapts or
goes extinct)
2. Gather Practice on sickle
fish
ZOO-
Bellringer-
Summative assessment over the
three learning targets
WorkshopReasoning: Identify 1 animal that
changed due to the environment
changing
CraftGather:
1. Guided notes – some
scientist will study
organisms to identify
what traits are those due
to adaptations
Workshop-
Reasoning: Students will be
gathering data on organisms at
the zoo and evaluating the
organisms traits and how the
traits help the organism survive in
it’s environment
WorkshopStudents will take their data they
obtained from the zoo and work on
a writing project that uses writing
strategies to explain how variation
in traits increases the organisms
ability to survive.
Reasoning: Identify 1 animal that
changed due to the environment
changing
