Transcript
Please take out a piece of paper for notes. Please take your lab sheet from yesterday or get it out. Finish any problems you have left. March 9, 2011 Chapter 5.1 p.324 5.02 Correlate evolutionary theories and processes • Biological Students will be able to explain evolution and describe the evidence that exists that supports the theory of evolution. A scientific theory is a way to EXPLAIN observations and scientific findings. • Examples: geocentric theory, evolution, general relativity, cell theory The theory of evolution is the idea that there has been gradual change in living things over long periods of time. The fossil record shows what life has been on Earth and how that life has changed. • Many organisms have evolved and many have gone extinct. Natural selection is the idea that traits that are beneficial to a species survival will become more widespread. Example: If giraffes want to survive, they must have longer necks to reach higher into trees to get food.
