Announcements • Evolution Quiz #1- Next Tuesday
Where We’re Going Today • Students will be able to predict organisms likely to be affected by natural selection based on their phenotype. • Students know why alleles that are lethal in a homozygous individual may be carried in a heterozygote and thus maintained in a gene pool.
Pre Lab Vocabulary pg. ______(30 min) • Use the biology book to define the following words. • Start by rating each word with how well you understand each word. • Some words we have not learned and you will need to use the book to look up. • Use the index first!
Natural Selection Lab Groups/Demo (20 min) • Choose a role for each 4 members • If someone is missing in your group someone is going to have 2 roles.
Behavior Expectations • 40 minutes to complete the 4 rounds • Read all directions • Your voices should be at a level that I cannot hear across the classroom • Stay within your groups
