Learning Targets – Unit 13 EVOLUTION If we, as a class, can begin each statement with, “We can…” then we will have achieved our goal of truly understanding our learning targets. Here are our learning targets for this unit! Your goal for the end of this unit is to be able to say, “I can…” You will be How do you feel? introduced to this topic I know this stuff! during the I could use some help... following sections… describe the difference between spontaneous generation and biogenesis identify the early scientists that were able to disprove spontaneous generation describe what was involved in the experiments used to disprove spontaneous generation (Redi, Spallanzani, Pasteur) describe the Primordial Soup Theory (Oparin) identify other theories on the origin of life (hydrothermal vents, frozen ocean, meteor, etc.) interpret fossil evidence found in sedimentary rock describe the different types of fossils recognize the evidence showing that all life on earth has a common origin, including: a.homologous, analogous, and vestigial structures b.embryological similarities c.biochemical comparisons (DNA, RNA, and protein) Origins of Life Origins of Life Origins of Life Origins of Life Origins of Life Evidence of Evolution Evidence of Evolution Evidence of Evolution Ahh! What is this? recognize Lamarck’s theory of evolution as the theory of acquired characteristics describe Darwin’s theory of natural selection describe how genetic equilibrium is altered identify and describe the different patterns of evolution (convergent vs. divergent) contrast the different types of natural selection (including stabilizing, directional, and disruptive) summarize the punctuated equilibrium hypothesis contrast the punctuated equilibrium hypothesis with the hypothesis of gradualism describe why the Galapagos Islands are unique for evolutionary studies describe the data/evidence that has been gathered from the Galapagos Islands Early Theories of Evolution Early Theories of Evolution Mechanisms of Evolution Mechanisms of Evolution Mechanisms of Evolution Mechanisms of Evolution Mechanisms of Evolution Early Theories of Evolution Early Theories of Evolution
