2nd Semester...Week 1

Hello, and welcome back!!!!

Half of the year is already gone, but I wanted to make sure I put ALL the information in one place for you and your parents to access it.

Students can access a .pdf copy (electronic copy) of their textbook HERE !

KEY Terms for this unit: Paleontologist, vestigial structure, homologous structure, fossil,
biogeography, evolution, population, natural selection, adaptation, gradualism, punctuated equilibrium, analogous structure, convergent evolution, adaptive radiation, divergent evolution, co-evolution

WEEK 1/ Semester 2
January 23-25
Theory of Evolution/Natural Selection/ Fossil Records [Chapter 13]

Due Friday: Vocabulary words using the Frayer model (see above example). Be sure to define the word using your own words. If you just copy the definition from the book, you will not receive credit. I gave you the option instead of listing a non-example to draw a picture.

Vocabulary words for this assignment are: Homologous structures, Analogous structures, vestigial structures, evolution, natural selection, artificial selection.
