Session Six Directions
Read through these objectives that we will be focusing on for the next two to three
weeks. For each objective write down if you know any of that information already
or if you have no idea.
Objective 1.1- Students will be able to explain that biological evolution is the
consequences of the interactions of four factors: population growth, inherited
variability of offspring, a finite supply of resources, and natural selection by the
environment of offspring better able to survive and reproduce.
Objective 1.2- students will be able to predict the effect on a species if one of these
four factors should change.
Objective 1.3- Students will be able to describe how genetic material is passed from
parent to offspring and what environmental factors can cause mutations.
Objective 1.4- Students will be able to explain how a genetic mutation may or may
not allow a species to survive and reproduce in a given environment.
Objective 1.5- Students will be able to explain how the millions of different species
alive today are related by descent from a common ancestor.
Objective 1.6- Students will be able to explain that genes in organisms that are very
different can by very similar because these organisms all share a common ancestor.
Objective 1.7- Students will be able to use the fossil record and anatomical and/or
molecular (DNA) similarities as evidence, to formulate a logical argument for
biological evolution as an explanation for the development of a particular species.

You need to go through all pages of mechanisms you should take notes and don’t
forget vocabulary words.
