Standard:
HS-LS4-2. Construct an explanation based on evidence that the process of evolution primarily results from four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited resources, and (4) the proliferation of those organisms that are better able to survive and reproduce in the environment.
Lesson Objective:
I will be able to:
- Identify patterns in evolutionary background
- Construct a cladogram
Lesson Activities:
1. Do Now
Turn in your project and your research questions.
2. How to make a cladogram video
Watch the following video and take notes on how to create a cladogram
3. Making a cladogram worksheet
Complete the worksheet and create a cladogram using the instructions
4. Evolution practice questions
Use this worksheets as a study guide for our quiz next week. You may work with a partner but it will be better to work alone since you will be taking your quiz alone.
