Homework:
Unsupervised due 5/26
Study for EOC

2. Lab #18 Evidence for Change across Time
GOALS FOR Activity:
Notes and discussion evidence of evolution (Tue)
Bozeman Biology Video w/ sub (Wed)
2. FINAL SUMMARY TURN INTO BASKET Due Wed
What does the evidence suggest has happened to organisms on earth over time? 
Construct an explanation and use at least 4 pieces of evidence to defend your ideas.

3. Evidence for Evolution
Molecular Biology – DNA Comparison
Compare the DNA sequences at your table. How are the similar? How are they different?

4. Evidence for Evolution
4. Molecular Biology – DNA Comparison the more similar molecules are between two organisms, the more closely related they are.

5. Evidence for Evolution
5. Fossil Record
Fossils across continents
Same species appear to
have lived on multiple
continents
Fossils shows gradual changes throughout time of structures
Stratification – Fossil age determined by where it is found in sediment

6. Evidence for Evolution
6. Comparative Anatomy Homologous Structures - Wings, hands, feet of different species have almost identical structures.

7. Evidence for Evolution
7. Comparative Anatomy Vestigial Structures - Structures that seem to do nothing for the species, but are important in similar species

8. Evidence for Evolution
8. Embryology –
The study of developmental stages
Make observations as you watch the following clips – what is similar? What is different?
Human Development, start at 1:15
Chick development
Zebrafish Development 

9. Evidence for Evolution
8. Embryology The study of developmental stages – Vertebrate embryos that have the same developmental pattern are more closely related.

10. Evidence for Evolution
9. Phylogenetic Trees or Cladograms Illustrate evolutionary relationships based on shared inherited characteristics.
