Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4. 3.Biological evolution accounts for the diversity of species developed through gradual processes over many generations.
Life Science Evolution & Earth History Standards 3 & 4. 3.a. Both genetic variation and environmental factors are causes of evolution and diversity of organisms.
Life Science Evolution & Earth History Standards 3 & 4. 3. b. Learn the reasoning used by Darwin in making his conclusion that natural selection is the mechanism of evolution.
Life Science Evolution & Earth History Standards 3 & 4 3.c. Learn how independent lines of evidence from geology, fossils, and comparative anatomy provide a basis for the theory of evolution.
Life Science Evolution & Earth History Standards 3 & 4. 3.d. Learn how to construct a simple branching diagram to classify living groups of organisms by shared derived characteristics, and expand the diagram to include fossil organisms.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 3.e. The extinction of a species occurs when the environment changes and the adaptive characteristics of a species are insufficient for its survival.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 4. Evidence from rocks allows us to understand the evolution of life on Earth.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 4. Evidence from rocks allows us to understand the evolution of life on Earth.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 4. a. Earth processes today are similar to those that occurred in the past and slow geologic processes have large cumulative effects over long periods of time.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 4.b. The history of life on Earth has been disrupted by major catastrophic events, such as major volcanic eruptions or the impact of an asteroid.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 4.c. The rock cycle includes the formation of new sediment and rocks. Rocks are often found in layers with the oldest generally on the bottom.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 4.d. Evidence from geologic layers and radioactive dating indicate the Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old, and that life has existed for more than 3 billion years.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 4.e. Fossils provide evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 4.f.Movements of the Earth's continental and oceanic plates through time, with associated changes in climate and geographical connections, have affected the past and present distribution of organisms.
Life Science Evolution & Earth HistoryStandards 3 & 4 4.g.Explain significant developments and extinctions of plant and animal life on the geologic time scale.
