CAMP Biology
Unit 10: Evidence of Evolution (7A, 7B)
1/22 – 2/6
Enduring Understandings
(s)/goals:
EU1: Explain evidence for
evolution through different
mechanisms such as
homologous structures,
similarities in DNA, and
embryology.
EU2: Explain how fossil
records show periods or
rapid change, periods of
stasis, and gradual time
over time.
Stage 1 – Desired Results
Essential Question(s):
Student outcomes (objective):
EQ1: How have
organisms changed
over time?
EQ2: Is change
gradual or sudden?
7A(R) Analyze and evaluate how evidence of common
ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record,
biogeography, and homologies including anatomical,
molecular, and developmental.
7B(S) Analyze and evaluate scientific explanations
concerning any data of sudden appearance, stasis, and
sequential nature of groups in the fossil record.
Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence
Performance Task(s) and Other Evidence:
Formative

Stage 3 – Learning Plan
DIFFERENTIATION
SCAFFOLD: vocabulary definitions, natural selection causes evolution (giraffes), causes of adaptations are mutations
ACCELERATE: PREAP – creative writing – evolution of humans in the year 3000
GROUP: 7A manipulative stations, fossil activity
