Unit 9: Natural Selection (7C,7D,7E)

1/7 – 1/21

Stage 1 – Desired Results
Enduring Understandings (s)/goals: / Essential Question(s): / Student outcomes (objective):
EU1:
How does natural selection change an entire population? / EQ1: How has the human population changed over time?
EQ2: Have there been any huge changes to population growth in history? / 7C (S) Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not individuals.
ELPS: 3B: Use new vocabulary in oral and written communication.
EU2:
How does natural selection determine fitness? / EQ3: What organism is the most fit on the earth and why?
EQ4: What resources are limited for the human population & in what countries are these limitations found? / 7D (S) Analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection including inherited variation, the potential of a population to produce more offspring than can survive, and a finite supply of environmental resources result in differential reproduce success.
ELPS: 2G: Understand general meaning, main points, and details
2H: Understand implicit ideas and information
EU3:
How can adaptations affect natural selection? / EQ5: Think of an adaptation for a human & explain why it would be beneficial.
EQ6: How has the diversity of species changed over time? / 7E (R) Analyze and evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation, and to the development of diversity in and among species.
Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence
Performance Task(s) and Other Evidence:
Formative / Summative Unit 1 Exam
