2. Catalyst Imagine you and the rest of the class are EXTREMELY hungry and BROKE. Your favorite food is being sold outside and you really want to buy something to eat. Ms. Adabale places a dollar in the middle of the room. What are some physical advantages you could have that would get you to the dollar first? Get creative!

3. Make a new flip book! Send 1 person from your table to get 3 pieces of paper per person. Darwinism Evidence of Evolution Types of Selection Types of Isolation Extra Help

4. Unit 5: Evolution What is evolution?

5. Unit 5: Evolution Evolution: the process of biological change by which descendants come to differ from their ancestors Draw a representation of what this means to you on the front flap of your flip book. You have 3 minutes. Go!

6. Unit 5: Evolution What this unit is not…

8. Connections Evolution: the process of biological change by which descendants come to differ from their ancestors

9. Principles of Evolution Occurs within a species Species: A group of organisms so similar to one another that they can reproduce and have fertile offspring

11. Principles of Evolution There is a natural variation within populations Variation: the difference in physical traits of an individual from the others in the group to which it belongs Population: all the individuals of a species that live in an area

12. Classroom Da Vinci Design Del Aire Hawthorne

13. Founding Fathers of Evolution Jean Baptiste Lamarck: environment affects your genes

17. Founding Fathers of Evolution Charles Darwin: natural selection causes evolution Wrote Origin of the Species

18. Time to Write!

19. Artificial Selection Process by which humans change a species by breeding it for certain traits http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi9Pa0DHG5Y

20. Natural Selection Mechanism by which individuals that have inherited beneficial adaptations produce more offspring an average than do other individuals AKA “Survival of the Fittest”

23. Fit: being able to survive and produce more offspring relative to other members of the population in a given environment

24. Just to be clear… Evolution = change Natural Selection = Darwin’s explanation of how this happened http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1t5_iGN0xE

25. 5 Principles of Natural Selection VISTA Variation Inheritance Selection Time Adaptation

26. Bird Beak Lab You are going to simulate natural selection

27. Bird Beak Lab Every table needs: 4 handouts 4 cups Cutilery A bag of beans Butcher paper Tape

28. Connections Variation: the difference in the physical traits of an individual from the others in the group to which it belongs

29. Connections Inheritance: passing traits down to offspring

30. Connections Selection: competition for resources causes certain genotypes to be favorable over others

31. Connections Time: changes take time and many generations

32. Connections Adaptation: results in more offspring with the favorable trait
