9.Evolution Theories Essential Question: How does the evidence of

geology, fossils, and comparative anatomy support the theory of evolution?

Learning Target: I can describe who Charles Darwin was and his inference about life on earth.

Learning Task: I will watch short film clips to learn about Charles Darwin and the inferences he made about life on Earth. I will read about two different theories about how evolution occurred.

Belief vs. Understanding Our beliefs are important to us. They are

valid and serve valuable purposes in our life

Science isn’t about telling you what to believe – or about telling you that what you believe is wrong. Rather, Science is about UNDERSTANDING the world around us. You don’t have to believe it, but you should understand it.

Video: Evolution – Evolving Ideas

Today we will watch two video clips from the PBS Series Evolution – Evolving Ideas

You will copy the questions for each section into your lab notebook before watching, and then answer the questions while you watch.

Video: Evolution Questions 11Segment 1: Isn't Evolution Just a Theory?

1. What is a theory? 2. What does Darwin's theory of

natural selection aim to explain? 3. What is an inference? 4. What was Darwin's inference?

Segment 1: Isn't Evolution Just a Theory?

1. What is a theory?   Examples:

2. What does Darwin's theory of natural selection aim to explain?

Pulls together observations, laws, hypothesis, and inferences into logical explanations

gravitational theory, cell theory, germ theory

How new species originate/the diversity of life on earth

Page 12: 9. Evolution Theories

Segment 1: Isn't Evolution Just a Theory?

3. What is an inference?

4. What was Darwin's inference?

A conclusion drawn from available evidence 

All living things come from a common ancestor

Page 13: 9. Evolution Theories

Segment 3: How do we know evolution happens?1. Where is the history of life held? 2. How are whales similar to us?

How are they different? 3. Whales have flippers, but what

are the bones similar to on the inside?

 4. What reason do scientists give for a four-legged animal moving closer to water and giving rise to modern whales?

2. How are whales similar to us? How are they different?

 

Layers of fossils/The fossil record

Similar: mammals, intelligent, nurse their young, warm-blooded 

Different: swim like fish, live in water

Segment 3: How do we know evolution happens? 3. Whales have flippers, but what

are the bones similar to on the inside?

 4. What reason do scientists give for a four-legged animal moving closer to water and giving rise to modern whales?

Similar to bones in monkey arms, frog legs, and birds’ wings

Abundant food sources, escape from competition

Most Species that have lived on Earth are now Extinct!

Extinction of species is common. Extinction of species occurs when

the environment changes and the individual organisms of that species do not have the traits necessary to survive and reproduce in the changed environment.

Page 18: 9. Evolution Theories

Extinct: The Dodo Bird The Dodo was a

large, flightless bird

It was a relative of pigeons and doves

The last dodo died sometime in the late 17th century

Page 19: 9. Evolution Theories

Extinct: The Dinosaurs Stegosaurus lived way

before Triceratops showed up

Tyrannosaurus wasn't feasting on Apatosaurus (he had been extinct for millions of years by that time)

They were all gone by the time human beings came around

Page 20: 9. Evolution Theories

Extinct: Passenger Pigeon These pigeons once

blackened the sky as they roamed in flocks numbering in the billions

Westward-bound settlers chopped down the birds' habitat at an alarming pace.

In less than 100 years, this species was in a lot of trouble.

The last passenger pigeon died in a Cincinnati zoo in 1914. http://science.discovery.com/creatures/10-extinct-species.htm

Page 21: 9. Evolution Theories

Extinct: Saber-Toothed Tiger Has been extinct for over

10,000 years The cat itself was about

the size of a modern-day lion (if not a bit shorter), but far more robust

This fierce predator once roamed freely in the grasslands and forests of North and South America

We should probably be happy we're not living in the Ice Age!

In your Lab Notebook: Evolution Vocab 12

Darwin –a naturalist who proposed and provided scientific evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors

Natural Selection – survival of the fittest organisms that are the best adapted to their environment and will live long enough to reproduce and pass on those adaptations

• Theory – a explanation that ties together many hypothesis and observations

Create Frayer Models for the words
