It is hard to believe we are now getting into the Christmas season! From now until Christmas break, we will be studying geological, climate, biological, and technological evolution. Evolution in Science is defined simply as change. This week we will discuss what makes a species adapt to its environment, extinction of species who cannot adapt, index fossils, and Darwin's theory of natural selection. Students will also get a chance to make their own fossil on Wednesday. We will also examine how climate has changed over time and how this indirect evidence is recorded in ice cores as gas isotopes, dust, and so on.
Homework for the week:
Monday night: bring in "fossil"
Tuesday: finish mapping activity (if not already finished), bring in "fossil" for Wed. activity
Wednesday: pg. 416 questions - all Review and Reflect
Thursday: Answer questions about adaptation scenarios on sheet; tentative homework: pg. 443 definitions from evolution to Pangaea
