5.3.12.E.2 Estimate how closely related species are, based on scientific evidence (e.g., anatomical similarities, similarities of DNA base and/or amino acid sequence).
5.3.12.E.3 Provide a scientific explanation for the history of life on Earth using scientific evidence (e.g., fossil record, DNA, protein structures, etc.).
5.3.12.E.4 Account for the evolution of a species by citing specific evidence of biological mechanisms.
AFTER BREAK:
INTRO: Intro to History of life: ppt and “evidence” of evolution.
QUESTION: What are the difference between Homology vs. Analogous structures?
Homology vs analogous structures
VIDEO
------
Heart of evolution: All things are related and have come from a common decent.
Evidence of Evolution and terms: Review homology/analogous structures, vestigial structures, biochemical evidence.
QUESTION: WHAT ARE 4 CATEGORIES OF EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION?
What are fossils and how can they be used as evidence?
What does their placement suggest about their age? (Relative dating)
What is the law of superposition?
What is radioactive dating and how can it be used to date fossils?
