Unit Essential Question: How has natural selection shaped the development of the theory of evolution?
GPS Standard(s):
SB5. Students will evaluate the role of natural selection in the development of the theory of evolution.
A. Trace the history of the theory.
B. Explain the history of life in terms of biodiversity, ancestry, and the rates of evolution.
C. Explain how fossil & biochemical evidence support the theory.
D. Relate natural selection to changes in organisms.
E. Recognize the role of evolution to biological resistance (pesticide & antibiotic resistance).
