Project Completion and Section 18.1: Introduction to Ecology
Students are to finish their project on Geological Timeline and turn it in. In the remaining time, students are to reinforce Section 18.1, Introduction to Ecology, by completing the assigned study guide on said section in terms of how species result in … Continue reading
Lab Activity: Geological Timeline
Students will construct a geological timeline based upon the three major eras, which can be broken down into their periods, and these are further classified into epochs. Furthermore, students will state two characteristics of each period or epoch based upon … Continue reading
REMINDER: THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013: CHAPTER 15 TEST

Students are to reinforce Chapter 15, Theory of Evolution, by answering on their notebooks the following questions: #’s 2, 4-16 on page 312 and 1-6 plus the short response on page 313.
Reinforcement: Evolution in Action
We will reinforce the process of evolution in action that was based upon our class discussion on Friday as we will compare and contrast convergent and divergent evolutionary processes and provide examples upon each. Moreover, we will elaborate upon artificial … Continue reading
Section 15.3: Evolution in Action
Students are to complete their personal Think Aloud assignment at home, and be prepared to team up with their perspective groups to Think Aloud about what they have synthesized from the section on Evolution in Action. This will be done in terms of … Continue reading
Section 15.3: Evolution in Action (Think-Pair-Share/Think Aloud)
Students will be allowed 15-20 minutes to complete their study guide on evidence of evolution. Then each pair/group of students will take part in the Think Aloud activity that centers upon Evolution in Action as each student will be evaluated … Continue reading
Evidence of Evolution
We will complete our discussion of the evidence of evolution through the several inferences of fossil distibutions that have been put forth by scientists as we will expand and elaborate upon them, and we realize that biogeography enhances our understanding … Continue reading
