Plantae vs. Animalia
Define the various types of symmetry found in organisms and use examples on the smart board to familiarize the students with each type.
Workbook review of pages 315-325.
Intro to adaptation, evolution, and natural selection.
Which Kingdom includes multi-cellular organisms that have cell walls that do well in dark moist areas, & includes yeasts?
Are there more organisms at the family, class, order, or genus level of taxonomy? Justify your answer.
Research and summarize the contributions of scientists, (Darwin, Malthus, Wallace, Lamarck, & Lyell) whose work led to the development of the
theory of evolution.
Use a Venn diagrams to compare prokaryotes/eukaryotes, protists/other eukaryotes, fungi/plants, and plants/animals.
Lyell – Studied geography. He noticed that the continents moved…and this provided Darwin and other evolutionists with a means of explaining
how populations could separate (become isolated) from one another so they could develop isolated mutations. This provides a means for
divergent evolution and adaptive radiation.
Discussion of summaries
Even though LaMark made significant and accurate contributions to adaptation/evolution theory, what part of his contribution was incorrect?

CCSS/ MS Framework Competency/Objective:
6. Demonstrate an understanding of principles that explain the diversity of life and biological evolution.
a. Draw conclusions about how organisms are classified into a hierarchy of groups and subgroups based on similarities that reflect their evolutionary relationships. (DOK 2)
• Characteristics of the six kingdoms
• Major levels in the hierarchy of taxa (e.g., kingdom, phylum/division, class, order, family, genus, and species)
• Body plans (symmetry)
• Methods of sexual reproduction (e.g., conjugation, fertilization, pollination)
• Methods of asexual reproduction (e.g., budding, binary fission, regeneration, spore formation)
b. Critique data (e.g., comparative anatomy, Biogeography, molecular biology, fossil record, etc.) used by scientists (e.g., Redi, Needham, Spallanzani, Pasteur) to develop an
understanding of evolutionary processes and patterns. (DOK 3)
c. Research and summarize the contributions of scientists, (Darwin, Malthus, Wallace, Lamarck, & Lyell) whose work led to the development of the theory of evolution.
d. Analyze and explain the roles of natural selection, including the mechanisms of speciation (e.g., mutations, adaptations, geographic isolation) and applications of speciation (e.g.,
pesticide and antibiotic resistance). (DOK 3)
e. Differentiate among chemical evolution, organic evolution, and the evolutionary steps along the way to aerobic heterotrophs and photosynthetic autotrophs. (DOK 2)
