Station 1 Create a Concept Map of Evolution Using the following terms. Include a brief description of each (3.7): 1.Evolution 2.Natural Selection 3.Speciation 4.Adaptation 5.Homologous Structure 6.Analogous Structure 7.Charles Darwin

Station 2 1.Which layer is the oldest? How do you know? 2.Write and explanation that summarizes the change in layers and fossilized remains of organisms. 3.Fossils provide evidence for the theory of evolution. How do the following show evidence of evolution? a)Embryology b)Vestigial Structures

Station 3 1.In words, describe Earth’s early environment. (Hint: Use the picture to the right if needed) 2.When looking at the geological time scale, it is evident that most life evolved in Earth’s recent history. Why? What was missing from earth’s early atmosphere that would have allowed for the evolution of life at that time?

Station 4

Station 5 1.Which species is most closely related to the chimp? 2.Which species has the greatest physical differences from the chimp? 3.Name all of the species that have Claws and Nails. 4.Which characteristics listed on the cladogram does the lizard possess? 5. We know that species evolve from simple organisms to more complex organisms (as shown in the cladogram above). Can a species ever evolve backwards (i.e. from something complex to something more simple)? If so, give an example….

Station 6 1.Homologous or analogous structures? Why? 2. Homologous or analogous structures? Why? 3. Convergent or Divergent Evolution? Why? 4. Convergent or Divergent Evolution? Why?

Station 7 1.Complete the taxonomy levels for the diagram to the left. 2.What is a sentence that you can use to help you remember the order of these levels? 3.In scientific notation, which two levels are used? 4.Which of the following is correct? a)homo sapien b)Homo Sapien c)Homo sapien d)homo Sapien 5.What is a Homo sapien?

Station 8 In the pictures above, the turtle on the left has a longer neck than the turtles on the right (allowed for by the shape of it’s shell). 1.What connection might there be between neck length and eating behavior of these tortoises? 2.What do you think might happen to the tortoises on the right if they are transferred to the island occupied by the tortoise on the left?
