Jan 29 Mon periods 1-6 |
Students will know why natural selection acts on the phenotype rather than the genotype of an organism. | 1) Line out semester plan 2) Paradigms of where life comes from |
Jan 30 Tues periods 1,3,5 |
Students will know variation within a species increases the likelihood that at least some members of a species will survive under changed environmental conditions. | 1) Darwin's "Five" format of paper (like this) : Single spaced block paragraphs, give paragraph of introduction, a paragraph for each dark bullet, and a paragraph of summary. Typed, grammar, spelling, mechanics, and smooth organization and reading also part of grading points (55 points possible). |
