Evolution occurs as the
heritable characteristics of
populations change across
generations and can lead
populations to become
better adapted to their
environment.
a. Develop, communicate, and
justify an evidence-based scientific
explanation for how Earth’s diverse
life forms today evolved from
common ancestors. M
We will analyze how current
living organisms evolved
over time from common
ancestors.

Heritable
Life Science.
Evolution occurs as the
heritable characteristics of
populations change across
generations and can lead
populations to become
better adapted to their
environment.
b. Analyze and interpret multiple
lines of evidence supporting the
idea that all species are related by
common ancestry such as
molecular studies, comparative
anatomy, biogeography, fossil
record and embryology. M
We will analyze how current
living organisms evolved
over time from common
ancestors.

c. Analyze and interpret data
suggesting that over geologic time,
discrete bursts of rapid genetic
changes and gradual changes have
resulted in speciation. M
We will analyze how current
living organisms evolved
over time due to gradual
changes in genetics.

Evolution occurs as the

populations to become

d. Analyze and interpret data on
how evolution can be driven by
three key components of natural
selection – heritability, genetic
variation, and differential survival
and reproduction. M
We will examine how
natural selection is related
to species fitness and
survival.

species from an ecosystem or
introducing non-native species into
an ecosystem. M
We will analyze the impact
that introducing and

The energy for life primarily
derives from the interrelated
processes of
photosynthesis and cellular
respiration. Photosynthesis
transforms the sun’s light
energy into the chemical
energy of molecular bonds.
Cellular respiration allows
cells to utilize chemical
energy when these bonds
are broken.
a. Develop, communicate, and
justify an evidence-based scientific
explanation the optimal
environment for photosynthetic
activity. M
We will analyze optimum
conditions for
photosynthesis.
