Topics:
History of Life on Earth
 Know some major events that helped shape life on Earth (example: eukaryotic cells first evolve)
and their relative order (i.e. which came first)
 Endosymbiosis
Fossils
 paleontology
 definition of fossil
 several types of body fossils and how they are formed
 several types of trace fossils and how they are formed
 two methods for dating fossils and how they work, be able to do some problems
Natural Selection
 know a little bit about Charles Darwin and his journey and life, artificial selection
 overview of how natural selection works, 4 principles of natural selection, give an example
 vocab: evolution; species; speciation; adaptation; fitness
 understand the bean lab
Evidence for Evolution
 fossils
 homologous structures
 vestigial structures
 comparative embryology
 evolution of resistance
 DNA, mutations, and meiosis as evidence
 current microevolution examples, current macroevolution (speciation) examples
Patterns of Evolution
 speciation due to geographic isolation (be able to explain and give an example)
 adaptive radiation (be able to explain and give an example)
 coevolution (be able to explain and give an example)
Galapagos
 Know what the Galapagos islands are and how they are an interesting environment to study
 be able to explain how the 2 iguana species are adapted to their environments
 be able to explain how the finches serve as an example of adaptive radiation
 be able to explain how the Galapagos tortoise and prickly pear cactus interact
 Know how a scientific name is supposed to be formatted
