WEEKLY AGENDA 3/30 - 4/3

Learning Target: I will be able to describe the major accomplishments of each scientist and how their accomplishments contributed to Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection. 
Monday, 3/30: Watch Theories of Evolution Video and submit 10 things you got from it.; 10.1 Reinforcement (click the title for the links and files + submit completed work to shot to your teacher's remind or Google Classroom)
Video Links:

• Theories of Evolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsKTmrs4DrU 

Learning Target: I will be able to analyze or interpret patterns of biodiversity that arise from speciation.
Tuesday, 3/31: Watch the What is a Species? video below and answer the questions below (submit to remind chat or Google classroom for  your teacher)
Video Link:

• What is a Species?: https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/evolution/species

Questions:

1. Why are the Eastern and Western Meadowlarks considered different species?
2. In which way(s) could polar bears and grizzly bears be considered different species?
3. In which way(s) could polar bears and grizzly bears be considered the same species?
4. What is the main point this video makes about species?

Learning Targets:
         - I will be able to differ between the theories of Charles Darwin and Lamarck.
         - I will be able to describe how speciation occurs and how a new species can arise from other species. 
Wednesday, 4/1: Using Monday's material, create a guess my 2-1-4; then, using Tuesday's material, create an A-B-C summary for 3 ideas about speciation. *see directions below on how to complete the assignments* - You can submit pictures of your answers to remind OR teachers Google Classroom.
2-1-4:

1. Record 2 facts, create 1 hint, and find or take 4 pictures about the topic assigned above for 3/30/2020. ​

*Your goal for your 2-1-4 is to have someone to be able to guess your topic from your 2-1-4.  You don't want to tell your topic in your creation*

A-B-C:

1. Write 3 short, yet detailed summaries about the topic. 
2. 1st word in each summary statement must begin with an A-first summary, B-second summary, C-third summary
3. You should end with 3 short detailed summaries. Ex: A parent is doing their best job. Being a teacher and a parent isn't easy. ; Cut them some slack because this is a new thing for them too.  

**Complete the Evolution Quiz Study Guide for Friday's quiz. (click the title for the file)

Learning Target: What role does genetics play in evolution?
Thursday, 4/2: Read sections 11.1, 11.3, and 11.5 in the textbook and answer the questions below on the padlet link: 
Questions:

1.  How does genetic variation in populations increase an organisms chance of survival? (Section 11.1)
2. Describe the different ways that populations can evolve.  (Section 11.3)
3. Describe the different isolations that lead to speciation. (Section 11.5)

Learning Target: I will be able to explain how Earth's history, speciation, and genetics influence our understanding of biology.
Friday, 4/3: Evolution Quiz 1. You will have until Sunday, 4/5/20 @ 11:59 PM to complete your quiz. *Be sure to complete the study guide from Wednesday BEFORE you take the quiz*
