Mazapan G.A.N.A.G. Lesson Plan 2013-2014

/ Standard / Goal / Access Prior Knowledge / New Information / Apply Knowledge / Generalize/ Goal Review/ Grade
Monday / Focus Standard:
S3 – Students know and understand the characteristics and structure of living things, the processes of life, and how living htings interact with each other and their environment. / Understand the process of natural selection in allowing organisms to adapt to survive pressures exerted by the environment. / S. list examples of adaptations organisms have dependent upon habitat. / S. carry out Natural Selection Lab / Exit Slip
Describe how the lab you just carried out allowed you to understand the process of natural selection better.
Supporting Standards:
S1 and all its standards, S3Bb,S3Bd,,S3Cb,S3Cc,S3Da,S3Db,S3Dc,S3Dd,S3De,S3Df
Tuesday / Focus Standard
S3 – Students know and understand the characteristics and structure of living things, the processes of life, and how living htings interact with each other and their environment. / Infer the scales at which evolution can be studied. / Q/ What other branches of science do you think could have impacted Darwin’s theory? How?
A/ EX: genetics- allows us to determine how chromosomally al;ike certain species are
Embryology- at an early stage all org. show similar developmental patterns / Prezi/Mimio/calss discussion/
Videos used: What is Evolution
Speciation-Crash course / S. take ISN notes
HW: SR 3 pg. 389
Extra Credit :
S. make a brochure /poster entitled “Who’s Who of Evolutionary Theory” Information should include basic facts about a major evolutionary scientist that lived after Darwin’s time. At least 3 iamges must be included.-due Thursday / Exit Slip
Give an example of speciation.

Friday / Focus Standard:
S3 – Students know and understand the characteristics and structure of living things, the processes of life, and how living htings interact with each other and their environment. / Understand the process of natural selection in allowing organisms to adapt to survive pressures exerted by the environment.
Infer the scales at which evolution can be studied. / Ask s. to list and quickly describe the processes of microevolution and the patterns of macroevolution / S. will write a paper determining if they believe that human evolution is or will be in the near future at a standstill S. must use the processes of microevolution and the patterns of macroevolution they deem necessary to support their answer. / I will randomly share 1 of the papers and have s. write their opinion regarding the paper’s point of view.i
