  2. Overview of Evolution

  3. Video – Evolution – (minds on)

  4. Highlight on Misconceptions • Evolution – time factor • idea of change occurring over a long period of time • Evolution is not science because it’s not observable • Science is limited to experiments in the lab • Only the fittest survive • Being fit is more than just physical

  5. SAMPLE POWERPOINT Artificial Selection Exploring Biotechnology & GMOs

  6. What are some advantages of GM Foods? • Pest resistance/Herbicide tolerance/ Disease resistance • Cold tolerance/Drought tolerance/salinity tolerance • Reduced Maturation time • Nutrition • Pharmaceuticals • Phytoremediation

  7. What are some criticisms against GM foods? Environmental hazards • Unintended harm to other organisms • Reduced effectiveness of pesticides • Gene transfer to non target species Human health risks • Allergenicity • Unknown effects on human health Economic concerns

  8. What’s your stance • Brainstorm with your group key points for your argument • Support your points with facts and examples • Try this: Vote Online - Should we grow GM crops? • Debate next class!

  9. Feedback on Sample Power point • On post it notes: • Your thoughts on our highlighted slides • Is it something you would include in your unit?

  10. Activity - #1 Wet LabSurvival of the Fittest • Objective: to simulate the process of natural selection using various backgrounds and different coloured gummy bears • Learning goal: • Explain the fundamental theory of evolution using the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection • Assessment: • Completion of data chart • Lab report

  11. Activity - #2 Mock Trial: Hearing of the GMOs • Today, there is a proposed worldwide ban against GMOs. You will be assuming the role of either:i) prosecutor – against GMOsii) defendant – for GMOsiii) jury – unbiased consensus iv) media • Assessment: • checklist/rubric for every student • teacher may take notes down but normally evaluates based on verbal presentation and rebuttal

  12. Assessment Strategies • Formatives • Wet lab, dry lab (assesses as learning) • After every chapter • Summative • Mock Trial • Unit test

  13. Questions for You! • How does it connect with your unit? • Are you using similar pedagogical techniques?

  14. Any questions? • What are your thoughts or concerns about our unit plan and its activities? • PMI THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!
