How are Geologic Evolution and Biologic Evolution related to one another?
Charles Darwin is the father of evolutionary theory. That’s what we’re learning about today!!!
Evolution = Change over time The Evolution of DANCE! (2 minutes) I’m a genius! Has music changed over time or is it the way of dancing?
Evolution is not a fact – but there is a lot of evidence that supports it
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST! -Natural selection: • Organisms with favorable (good) genes live & pass on their genes. • Organisms with unfavorable (bad) genes die out. -Over time, the population will change (evolve) as the organisms with the good genes take over.
Natural Selection Example • Which rabbit has a better chance of surviving in the North Pole? Why? • THINK, PAIR, SHARE
All the brown rabbits die Only one white rabbit dies
- We can say that the rabbits evolved into fat white rabbits.- This is an example of EVOLUTION.
Biologic Evolution: New species develop from species that already exist Ex: Finches – Beaks change depending on what food source is available.
How have scientist supported biologic evolution?With EVIDENCE!!! • Adaptations • Fossils
Adaptation • A CHANGE in an organism that allows it to survive better in their environment. • Organisms must adapt to meet the needs of their environment or they will die out!! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpGg-m8wyY4 Where is everybody??
Examples of Adaptation Camouflage- Organisms blend in to their environment and are not seen by predators. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpdoDBYuHIA&list=PLMYb_qWwxCko5ABXT1cGiQOUzfe1XJyXv
Examples of Adaptation Mimicry- Organisms copy the appearance of another more dangerous species so that predators will not bother them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4ixUr1Q7Hg Mexican Milk Snake, nonvenomous Texas Coral Snake, venomous
Wasp Not a wasp Not a wasp Not a wasp Not a wasp Not a wasp
How does a species evolve? Speciationis the creation of a new species. • Speciation takes a LONG time (Thousands, even millions, of years) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvEDqrc3XE WHY does this happen?? A species MUST ALWAYS adapt to their environment.

How are Geologic Evolution and Biologic Evolution related to one another?
Quick Review • Geologic evolution causes biologic evolution to occur. • Evolution of Dance II The music CAUSES the dancing to change, just like crustal plate movement and geologic changes (mountain formation, seafloor spreading) CAUSE organisms to evolve. REMEMBER: Organisms MUST adapt to meet the needs of their environment or they will become extinct (die out).
“Survival is an instinct.” • Take 3 minutes to silently and independently respond to this quote in your guided notes. • THINK – What is an instinct? Instinct: A natural tendency. Extinct: No longer in existence.
Key Takeaway • Species do not want to become extinct!!!
