Objective(s): SWBAT
* understand the importance of
our fossil record and what we
can learn from it
*Recognize the evidence of
evolution we can see.
Objective(s): SWBAT
*Compare and contrast
terminology such as convergent
and divergent evolution.
*understand artificial selection
and coevolution.
NGSSS:
NGSSS:
Objective(s): SWBAT
*be fully prepared to be tested
on evolution.
*understand terminology and
theories involving evolution
such as natural selection,
artificial selection,
coevolution, etc.
SC.912.L.15.1- Explain how the
scientific theory of evolution is
supported by the fossil record,
comparative anatomy,
comparative embryology,
biogeography, molecular biology,
and observed evolutionary change.

relationship between the
evolution of land plants and
their anatomy.

TEST
DAY
SC.912.L.15.9- Explain the role
of reproductive isolation in the
process of speciation.
Explain
Students will go over key
points discussed throughout
PowerPoint lectures and
Homework assignments.
Explain
Students will learn about
speciation through a fun
activity with rotations.
Pictures and facts will be at
each station for students to
gather and fill in a worksheet.
