Biology Unit 5.1: Evidence of Evolution
My learning target: I will
 (7A) analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil
record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental


(7B)analyze and evaluate scientific explanations concerning any data of sudden appearance, stasis, and
sequential nature of groups in the fossil record
(8B) categorize organisms using a hierarchical classification system based on similarities and differences
shared among groups (phylogeny)

UNIT 5.1
7A Readiness:
I can analyze components of the fossil record
I can use relative dating to determine the sequence in which organisms
appeared in the fossil record
I can explain why the fossil record is incomplete
I can explain how natural selection impacted the fossil record
I can analyze a map of geographic regions and determine where similar
organisms may live (2G)
I can analyze vestigial structures between species and determine the
likelihood of common ancestry (2H)
I can analyze homologous structures between species and determine
the likelihood of common ancestry(2H)
I can analyze analogous structures between species and determine the
likelihood of common ancestry(2H)
I can analyze a genome map to evaluate the likelihood of common
ancestry between organisms(2H)
I can analyze an evolutionary tree to evaluate the likelihood of common
ancestry between organisms(2H)
I can analyze a number of DNA sequences to evaluate the likelihood of
common ancestry between organisms(2H)
I can analyze multiple embryos to evaluate the likelihood of common
ancestry(2H)

7B
I can explain how scientists use relative dating to determine the age of
fossils
I can explain how scientists use radiometric dating to determine the age
of fossils
I can analyze data & scientific explanations to determine factors that
may have led to the sudden appearance of specific traits or organisms
I can analyze data& scientific explanations to determine factors that
may have led to the stasis of specific traits or organisms
I can analyze data & scientific explanations to determine the sequence
of groups found in the fossil record
Given a cladogram/fossil record/evolutionary tree, I can determine
how the sequence may change as scientists gather more data (2C)
Given a cladogram/fossil record/evolutionary tree, I can draw
conclusions about ancestry (2G)
Fossil record, sequential, stasis, sudden appearance, punctuated equilibrium, gradualism, relative dating,
radiometric dating, cladogram
8B-Readiness
I can explain the purpose of a phylogenic tree
Using a phylogenic tree, I can determine the evolutionary relationship
between organisms (2G)
Phylogenic tree, ancestor, common ancestry, genetic kinship
