Week 4/22 - 26
Standards:
Ch. 14 Topics (Evolution)
5.3.12.E.1
New traits may result from new combinations of existing genes or from mutations of genes in
reproductive cells within a population.
5.3.12.E.2
Molecular evidence (e.g., DNA, protein structures, etc.) substantiates the anatomical evidence for
evolution and provides additional detail about the sequence in which various lines of descent
branched.
5.3.12.E.3
The principles of evolution (including natural selection and common descent) provide a scientific
explanation for the history of life on Earth as evidenced in the fossil record and in the similarities
that exist within the diversity of existing organisms.
5.3.12.E.4
Evolution occurs as a result of a combination of the following factors: 1. Ability of a species to
reproduce; 2. Genetic variability of offspring due to mutation and recombination of genes; 3.
Finite supply of the resources required for life. Natural selection, due to environmental pressure,
of those organisms better able to survive and leave offspring
Common Core
RW1 (9-10): Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts,
attending to the precise details of explanations or descriptions (Review prompts, concept checks)
RW4 (9-10): Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words
and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 9 –10
topics
RW5 (9-10): Analyze the structure of the relationships among concepts in a text, including
relationships between key terms (concept checks; outline quiz)
WHSST 4 (9-10): Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization,
and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (concept checks; review prompts; outline
quiz)
WHSST 9 (9-10): Draw evidence from info. Texts to support analysis, reflection, and research
(concept checks; review prompts; outline quiz)
