Vocabulary: Vocabulary: Divergent evolution Divergent evolution Convergent evolution Convergent evolution Morphologies Morphologies Speciation Speciation Adaptive Radiation Adaptive Radiation Geographic isolation Geographic isolation Reproductive isolation Reproductive isolation Date: Monday, October 22, 2012 Concept #2: Fossil & Anatomical Evidence

Essential Standard: 3.4 Explain the theory of evolution by natural selection as a mechanism for how species change over time. Clarifying Objective: Clarifying Objective: Explain how fossil, biochemical, and anatomical evidence support the theory of evolution Explain how fossil, biochemical, and anatomical evidence support the theory of evolution Explain how natural selection influences the changes in species over time Explain how natural selection influences the changes in species over time. Objective Goal: Objective Goal: SWBAT describe how biochemical, fossil, and anatomical evidence all show how species change over time. SWBAT describe the process of natural selection and how that can lead to speciation.

Essential Standard: 3.4 Explain the theory of evolution by natural selection as a mechanism for how species change over time. Clarifying Objective: Clarifying Objective: Bio Explain how various disease agents (bacteria, viruses, chemicals) can influence natural selection. Bio Explain how various disease agents (bacteria, viruses, chemicals) can influence natural selection. Objective Goal: Objective Goal: SWBAT understand the importance of an immune response and how natural selection plays a role in that response SWBAT understand the importance of an immune response and how natural selection plays a role in that response
