Slide 1

CatalystImagine 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!Make a new flip book!Send 1 person from your table to get 3 pieces of paper per person.DarwinismEvidence of EvolutionTypes of Selection Types of IsolationExtra HelpUnit 5: EvolutionWhat is evolution?Unit 5: EvolutionEvolution: the process of biological change by which descendants come to differ from their ancestorsDraw a representation of what this means to you on the front flap of your flip book. You have 3 minutes. Go!Unit 5: EvolutionWhat this unit is notMusic or Dance?Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lExW80sXsHs (impressive)Dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg (funny)ConnectionsEvolution: the process of biological change by which descendants come to differ from their ancestors

Principles of EvolutionOccurs within a speciesSpecies: A group of organisms so similar to one another that they can reproduce and have fertile offspring

Principles of EvolutionThere is a natural variation within populationsVariation: the difference in physical traits of an individual from the others in the group to which it belongsPopulation: all the individuals of a species that live in an areaClassroom

Founding Fathers of EvolutionCharles Darwin: natural selection causes evolutionWrote Origin of the Species

Time to Write!Artificial SelectionProcess by which humans change a species by breeding it for certain traitshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi9Pa0DHG5YNatural SelectionMechanism by which individuals that have inherited beneficial adaptations produce more offspring an average than do other individualsAKA Survival of the Fittest

Fit: being able to survive and produce more offspring relative to other members of the population in a given environmentJust to be clearEvolution = changeNatural Selection = Darwins explanation of how this happenedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1t5_iGN0xE5 Principles of Natural SelectionVISTAVariationInheritanceSelectionTimeAdaptationBird Beak LabYou are going to simulate natural selectionBird Beak LabEvery table needs:4 handouts4 cupsCutileryA bag of beansButcher paperTape

ConnectionsVariation: the difference in the physical traits of an individual from the others in the group to which it belongsConnectionsInheritance: passing traits down to offspringConnectionsSelection: competition for resources causes certain genotypes to be favorable over othersConnectionsTime: changes take time and many generationsConnectionsAdaptation: results in more offspring with the favorable trait
