Students will be evaluated upon the theory of evolution that is based upon the several contributions of scientists that include Steno, Cuvier, Lyell, Lamarck, and the father of evolution Charles Darwin that put forth the natural selection process as the … Continue reading →

We will review Chapter 15 on the Theory of Evolution by answering the homework assignment on page 312, #’s: 2, 4-16 as well as page 313, #’s 1-6 plus the short response. If time permits, the teacher will further do … Continue reading →

Students will reinforce the topic of evolution through the process of putting together a concept map with a given set of clues, ideas, and concepts. Furthermore, they will elaborate upon the evolutionary process by formatively assessing their progressive learning skills through a … Continue reading →

We will answer and correct the study guide on section 15.3, Evolution in Action, and we will begin to review the chapter by doing a reinforcement on evolution and natural selection that centers on African elephants and their populations that are influenced … Continue reading →

We will discuss, elaborate, and reinforce the evolutionary process in action by commenting upon convergent and divergent evolutionary processes as well as contrast artificial selection with natural selection, and the role that coevolution plays in the daily lives of organisms.

Students will work in pairs for two-class sessions to construct an evolutionary timeline of organisms that lived and have lived on Earth for the past 600 million years. Students will be provided with the pertinent information for their construction timeline  process.

We will discuss the several inferences about the history of life that are supported by evidence from fossils and rocks. Additionally, we will examine how biogeography provide evidence that species evolve adaptations to their environment. Furthermore, we will elaborate upon … Continue reading →

Students are to reinforce the evolutionary thoughts of the several scientists that we are studying by answering question #’s: 2, 3, 5, 7, and 8 on page 301.
