Ch 16, 19.1 & 19.3 History of life and Evolution ES-C3. Explain how geologic time can be estimated by multiple methods (e.g., rock sequences, fossil correlation and radiometric dating). ES-C4. Describe how organisms on Earth contributed to the dramatic change in oxygen content of Earth's early atmosphere. LS-E13. Explain that the variation of organisms within a species increases the likelihood that at least some members of a species will survive under gradually changing environmental conditions. LS-H21. Explain that natural selection provides the following mechanism for evolution; undirected variation in inherited characteristics exist within every species. These characteristics may give individuals an advantage or disadvantage compared to others in surviving and reproducing. The advantaged offspring are more likely to survive and reproduce. Therefore, the proportion of individuals that have advantageous characteristics will increase. When an environment changes, the survival value of some inherited characteristics may change. LS-H22. Describe historical scientific developments that occurred in evolutionary thought (e.g., Lamarck and Darwin, Mendelian Genetics and modern synthesis). LS-I25. Explain that life on Earth is thought to have begun as simple, one celled organisms approximately 4 billion years ago. During most of the history of Earth only single celled microorganisms existed, but once cells with nuclei developed about a billion years ago, increasingly complex multicellular organisms evolved. We will be studying many topics related to life on Earth: o Definition of Theory and Law, what they are/do/mean o the origin of the Earth, Earth’s history and how/when life first developed on Earth o historic ideas of life and how they were discounted experimentally o historic ideas about evolution and how the modern theory came to be o the four parts to the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection o evidence for the modern Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection In this unit, we will be looking at how we believe life formed on the Earth. We’ll then look at different theories of how life changes with time. Part of that discussion will include an understanding of what it means to be a scientific theory. Finally we’ll look at the currently accepted scientific theory for Evolution by Natural Selection. We will be focusing our studies only on scientific explanations; those that can be disproven using scientific methodology. At the end of the unit, you will have a mixed format (multiple choice, short answer, diagrams…) test over the material.
