  1. CONCEPT MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION Presented by Neelima Mishra

  2. Amazing life ! HOW DID IT EVOLVE?

  3. OVERALL CURRICULUM EXPECTATION C 2. Investigate evolutionary processes, and analyse scientific evidence that supports the theory of evolution; C 3. Demonstrate the understanding of the theory of evolution, the evidence that supports it, and some of the mechanisms by which it occurs

  4. SPECIFIC EXPECTATION C2.1 use appropriate terminology related to evolution C2.2 use a research process to investigate some of the key factors that affect the evolutionary process C2.4 investigate, through a case study or computer simulation, the process of natural selection and artificial selection and analyse the different mechanisms by which it occurs C3.4 describe some evolutionary mechanisms and explain how they affect the evolutionary development and extinction of various species

  5. CONCEPT OVERVIEW MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION NATURAL SELECTION ARTIFICIAL SELECTION STABILIZING SELECTION SEXUAL SELECTION DIRECTIONAL SELECTION KIN SELECTION DISRUPTIVE SELECTION

  6. LESSON-I aMECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION INTRODUCTION ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING- Evolution survey http://www.indiana.edu/~ensiweb/lessons/ev.surv.pdf • Class discussion on various misconceptions. • Brief review of meaning of evolution and • Evidences of evolution

  7. LESSON-I b MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION “The Hook” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiEqcQtxuDs&feature=view_all&list=PL2A057978091E5780&index=1 --till18.17 minutes Ask how many mechanisms they are already familiar with? CONCEPT OVERVIEW AND VOCBULARY Concept overview with the help of flow chart. Students complete blank copy of flow chart. Students write vocabulary from text book.

  8. LESSON-II a MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION GENETIC RECOMBINATION Students are familiar with these concepts. We need to discuss the role of these mechanisms in altering genes. 1.Video to review meiosis as a source of genetic variation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCnQOrh7KUg 2. Student will share their understanding of role meiosis in creating genetic variation with their partner.

  9. LESSON-IIb MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION MUTATION 3. Introduce definition of mutation. Students will watch the video to understand different mutation and will take notes. Gene Mutation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQiGUAeh3TE&feature=mfu_inorder&list=UL Chromosomal Mutation-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAGxp9j5rtc&feature=related 4.Explain the difference between somatic and gamete cell mutations and the role that they play in cancer and evolution respectively.

  10. LESSON-II c MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION NON-RANDOM MATING Explain the meaning , types And discuss evolutionary consequences of non random mating on gene pool

  11. LESSON-III a MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION GENETIC DRIFT 1.Teacher will introduce the concept of genetic drift, bottleneck effect and founder effect with examples. Use pictures to help them visualise different scenario. 2.Discuss Founder effect-(Different ethnic groups in Canada--- effect on gene pool)

  12. LESSON-IIIb MECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION 3. Demonstrate the bottleneck effect . 4.Ask students to research more scenario and example. 5.Student will do the following activity- http://www.delaneyweb.com/teems/miniunit/ geneticdriftactivity.html

  13. LESSON-III cMECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION GENE FLOW Discussion to assess the effect of emigration, immigration on the frequency and variety of genes. http://www.delaneyweb.com/teems/miniunit/geneflowactivity.html How gene flow affects the differences in two populations. BIOTECHNOLOGY Explain the meaning and ask students to write about the effect of this artificial gene alteration and share the opinions with class.

  14. LESSON-IV aMECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION NATURAL SELECTION Clip Bird Activity http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/search/lessonsummary.php?audience_level[3]=9-12&topic_id=&keywords=&type_id=2&sort_by=resource_title&Submit=Search&thisaudience=9-12&resource_id=35 Optional – Gizmo Activity-Natural Selection http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspDetail&ResourceID=447&ClassID=0

  15. LESSON-IV bMECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION NATURAL SELECTION Explain stabilizing, directional and disruptive selection using transparencies and projector. Provide one example and ask students to contribute.

  16. LESSON-VMECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION Special forms of natural selection 1. Sexual selection http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/ 01/6/l_016_09.html 2.Kin selection – discuss altruistic behaviour in animal kingdom Cumulative Selection- Playing card activity http://www.indiana.edu/~ensiweb/lessons/ns.cum.l.html

  17. LESSON-VIMECHANISMS OF EVOLUTION ARTIFICIAL SELECTION Gizmo Simulation Activity http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspDetail&ResourceID=575&ClassID=0 Dog Breeding- Classroom Activity- optional http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/search/lessonsummary.php?audience_level[3]=9-12&topic_id=&keywords=&type_id=2&sort_by=resource_title&Submit=Search&thisaudience=9-12&resource_id=216

  18. STUDENT’S MISCONCEPTIONS #1 Evolution results in progress; organisms are always getting better through evolution. #2 Individual organisms can evolve during a single lifespan. #3Natural selection is about survival of the very fittest individuals in a population. #4 Natural selection produces organisms perfectly suited to their environments

  19. STUDENT’S MISCONCEPTIONS #5“Natural selection involves organisms ‘trying’ to adapt.” #6“Natural selection gives organisms what they ‘need. ” #7 Genetic drift only occurs in small populations For Rectification of these misconceptions please refer to summary hand out

  20. SAFETY Simulations are best conducted under low light conditions. Students should remain at their lab stations while light levels are low. 2. Beads are a hazard if dropped on the floor. Students can easily trip on round beads. Ensure that student pick up any dropped bead immediately. 3. Require accounting for all items supplied to prevent any items from remaining on the site. This requirement conserves resources and prevents harms to other using the site.

  21. APPLICATIONS AND SOCIETAL ISSUES Understanding evolution helps us solve biological problems that impact our lives • An understanding of evolution of drug resistance, origin of disease and processes of evolution may provide clues about how to treat them. • Knowledge of genetic variation and evolutionary relationships helps farmers improve the ability of crops to resist disease.

  22. APPLICATIONS AND SOCIETAL ISSUES • An understanding of how pesticide resistance evolves can provide strategies to minimize pest damage. It can also help conservationists make decisions about where to focus their efforts for conservation of endangered species

  23. SUGGESTIONS Field trip 2.Case study 3.Web cast-http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/evolution/lectures.html

  24. EVALUATION Assessment For Learning – Diagnostic test to find out Misconceptions. Assessment AS Learning- Observation, Questioning, Assessing Students’ worksheet , classroom and online activities. Assessment Of Learning- paper-pencil test
