Reminder Progress Report-----> INBOX= 25 points
2
Do Now 9/26 Draw 5 squares. Label with the 5 kingdom names: bacteria, animal, plant, fungi and protist. Use pages 130-134 to answer the following in each square: Which kingdom(s) have: 1. sexual reproduction 2.Always have nucleus 3.Use photosynthesis to make food 4.single celled 5.multi-cellular
3
Do Now 9/26 Compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes. (2-3 sentences) Refer to pp. 128-129
4
Learning Target 9/26 After review, I can construct the theory of evolution and relate how natural selection is connected.
6
Charles Darwin (1809-1882) Sailed around the world 1831-1836
7
2. What did Darwin’s Travels reveal ▪The diversity of living species was far greater than anyone had previously known!! ▪These observations led him to develop the theory of evolution!!
8
As you watch, silently and independently Write 5 questions Use question starters at your table ?????????? Text=video
9
In your table groups, choose one person to be the Question Expert. The Question Expert will lead the discussion You have 5 min to discuss, answer at least 4 of your questions Text=video
10
3.How did tortoises and birds differ among the islands of the Galapagos? ▪Each island had its own type of tortoises and birds that were clearly different from other islands
11
Galapagos Turtles
12
4. Evolution is when organisms change over time. So, modern organisms descended from ancient ones
13
7. Evolution is a Theory – Just like Gravity! ●Evolution is a well supported explanation of phenomena that have occurred in the natural world ●A theory in science is a well tested hypothesis, not just a guess
14
How is evolution related to natural selection?
15
5. Geologists: Hutton and Lyell ▪Fundamentalists said that the earth was around 6000 years old. ▪Hutton and Lyell argued that the earth is many millions of years old because ▪layers of rock take time to form, and ▪processes such as volcanoes and earthquakes shaped the earth and still occur today.
16
6. Lamark Theory of acquired characteristics ▪Lamark said organisms acquired traits by using their bodies in new ways ▪These new characteristics were passed to offspring ▪Lamark was totally wrong!
17
7. Malthus ▪Reasoned that if the human population continued to grow unchecked, sooner or later there would be insufficient living space and food for everyone
18
Time check: 1:50pm Remember today we are reviewing the relationship between evolution and natural selection
19
Population growth and Statistics Population Growth and SES Gaps Video Video Health and Income Video Video How has Malthus’ argument impacted current world views?
21
8. Darwin finally published his ideas in 1859 ▪Other naturalists were developing the same theory that Darwin did. ▪Even though he was afraid of the Church’s reaction to his book he wanted to get credit for his work.
22
9. Artificial Selection ▪nature provides variation, humans select variations that are useful. ▪Example - a farmer breeds only his best livestock
23
10. Natural Selection ▪The traits that help an organism survive in a particular environment are “selected” in natural selection
24
How is evolution related to natural selection?
25
10 minutes to finish class website paper
26
http://www.brainpop.com/science/diversityoflife/sixkingdoms/ Directions: 1. Find your 5 square note sheet from last class 2.As you watch, take notes on each kingdom 3.Take 2 minutes to compare notes with a buddy
30
11. Natural Selection and Species Fitness ▪Overtime, natural selection results in changes in the inherited characteristics of a population. ▪These changes increase a species fitness (survival rate)
32
Descent with Modification ▪Each living species has descended with changes from other species over time
33
Summary of Darwin’s Theory 1. Organisms differ; variation is inherited 2. Organisms produce more offspring than survive 3. Organisms compete for resources 4. Organisms with advantages survive to pass those advantages to their children 5. Species alive today are descended with modifications from common ancestors
34
13. Evidence of Evolution 1.Fossil Record 1.Geographic Distribution of Living Species 1.Homologous Body structures 1.Similarities in Embryology
35
Evidence of Evolution Fossil Record provides evidence that living things have evolved Fossils show the history of life on earth and how different groups of organisms have changed over time
36
Relative vs. Absolute Dating
37
Relative Dating ▪Can determine a fossil’s relative age ▪Performed by estimating fossil age compared with that of other fossils ▪Drawbacks – provides no info about age in years
38
Absolute dating ▪Can determine the absolute age in numbers ▪Is performed by radioactive dating – based on the amount of remaining radioactive isotopes remain ▪Drawbacks - part of the fossil is destroyed during the test
39
Carbon-14 Dating

47
Neanderthals 35,000 to 100,000 ya Cro-Magnon 35,000 to 40,000 ya
48
Modern Homo sapien (fully modern fossils 100,000 ya)
49
13. Evidence of Evolution 2.Geographic Distribution of Living Species Similar animals in different locations were the product of different lines of descent
51
13. Evidence of Evolution Homologous Body Structures ▪Structures that have different mature forms but develop from the same embryonic tissues e.g. Wing of bat, human arm, leg of turtle Turtle Alligator Bird
52
Homologous Body Structures
53
Vestigial Organs ▪traces of homologous organs in other species ▪Organ that serves no useful function e.g. Appendix
54
13. Evidence of Evolution Similarities in Embryology ▪In their early stages of development, chickens, turtles and rats look similar, providing evidence that they shared a common ancestry.
55
Embryological development
58
Exit Ticket TF8/99/26 TURN IN Relate natural selection to the theory of evolution and use 3 examples of evidence to support your definition. Write 2-3 sentences.
