I can explain the steps of
natural selection, including the
mechanisms of speciation (e.g.,
mutations, adaptations,
geographic isolation) and
applications of speciation (e.g.,
pesticide and antibiotic
resistance).

Day 5 - (4/7-4/8)
I can explain how organisms are
classified into a hierarchy of groups
and subgroups based upon their
evolutionary relationships. (6a)
I can identify if an
organism displays
asymmetry or type
of symmetry.
Identify what types of mutations
occurred in the samples provided on

Draw example
structures that
display asymmetry,
bilateral symmetry,
and radial
symmetry.

Competency/Objective:
6. Demonstrate an understanding of principles that explain the diversity of life and biological evolution.
a. Draw conclusions about how organisms are classified into a hierarchy of groups and subgroups based on similarities that reflect their evolutionary relationships. (DOK 2)
• Characteristics of the six kingdoms
• Major levels in the hierarchy of taxa (e.g., kingdom, phylum/division, class, order, family, genus, and species)
• Body plans (symmetry)
• Methods of sexual reproduction (e.g., conjugation, fertilization, pollination)
• Methods of asexual reproduction (e.g., budding, binary fission, regeneration, spore formation)
b. Critique data (e.g., comparative anatomy, Biogeography, molecular biology, fossil record, etc.) used by scientists (e.g., Redi, Needham, Spallanzani, Pasteur) to develop an
understanding of evolutionary processes and patterns. (DOK 3)
c. Research and summarize the contributions of scientists, (Darwin, Malthus, Wallace, Lamarck, & Lyell) whose work led to the development of the theory of evolution.
d. Analyze and explain the roles of natural selection, including the mechanisms of speciation (e.g., mutations, adaptations, geographic isolation) and applications of speciation
(e.g., pesticide and antibiotic resistance). (DOK 3)
e. Differentiate among chemical evolution, organic evolution, and the evolutionary steps along the way to aerobic heterotrophs and photosynthetic autotrophs. (DOK 2)
