Objectives:
Identify changes in
genetic traits that
have occurred over
several generations
through natural
selection and
selective breeding
such as the
Galapagos Finch
and domestic
animals.
Review: Identifying
changes in genetic
traits that have
occurred over
several generations
through natural
selection and
selective breeding,
review the process
of naming species
with the
dichotomous key,
and types of
internal/external
adaptations.

Assess the data
from Unit 11 test
and begin
predicting and
describing how
different types of
catastrophic events
and natural
disasters impact
our ecosystems.
Guided &
Independent
Practices:
Guided Practice:
Teachers will guide
students through 7
different stations of
different types of
organisms to be
eaten by different
species of birds
(Galapagos Finch).
Guided Practice:
The teacher will
distribute a study
to be worked on in
class. The teacher
will break the class
into two groups;
one group doing
the study guide
half the time and
the other group
play a review game
(then they switch).
Guided Practice:
Teacher will go
over the answers
from the study and
facilitate a
kahoot.it
questioning game
with technology.
Analyze questions

Guided Practice:
Teacher will
facilitate and
monitor during the
unit assessment.
Independent
Practice:
Students will
gather different
types of food with a
specific type of
beak as they travel
from station to
station (island to
island)
determining that
the beaks changed
over time.
Assessment:
Completing lab
questions
Closure:
Exit Question
Independent
Practice:
Students will
analyze questions
from the review
and questions
during a review
game.
Study Guide
Questions
Independent
Practice:
Students will
check/correct
answers from the
study and
participate in the
kahoot.it
questioning game
using the ipads.
Independent
Practice:
Students will
answer questions
over the various
concepts from the
unit (listed in the
objectives above).
Guided Practice:
Teacher will call
out the answers to
the unit 11 test and
discuss any
questions/concerns
/missed concepts.
Teacher will also
begin a discussion
and lead small
groups on different
catastrophic events
and natural
disasters.
Independent
Practice:
Students will
grade/ go over
their unit 11
assessment.
Students will work
in groups
discussing different
catastrophic events
and natural
disaster impact on
our ecosystems.

Please realize that this is just a plan and may change, nothing is set in stone. Plans may change if there is an unexpected absences, I find
more effective material, technology or copier malfunctions, etc.
I thank you for your understanding; everything I do is in the best interest of the students!!
