HS-LS4-1: Analyze and interpret scientific information that common ancestry and biological
evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence.
HS-LS4-2: Construct an explanation based on evidence that biological diversity is influenced by
(1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of
individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited
resources, and (4) the proliferation of those organisms that are better able to survive and
reproduce in the environment.
HS-LS4-3: Apply concepts of statistics and probability to support explanations that populations
of organisms adapt when an advantageous heritable trait increases in proportion to organisms
lacking this trait.
HS-LS4-4: construct an explanation based on evidence for how natural selection and other
mechanisms lead to genetic changes in populations.
HS-LS4-5: Evaluate evidence supporting claims that changes in environmental conditions can
affect the distribution of traits in a population causing: (1) increases in the number of individuals
of some species, (2) the emergence of new species over time, and (3) the extinction of other
species.
HS-LS3-1 : Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in
coding the instructions for characteristic passed from parents to offspring

Lesson/inquiry/investigation ideas
The class will begin by teachers passing out a short quiz on the evolution lesson that was
conducted on monday and tuesday. Students will have 10 minutes to take this quiz and teachers
will have 10 minutes to review the quiz after students have turned it in.
Next objective of the day: morphology, students will be given a worksheet that has description of
different shapes of bacteria and they will also be given a cut out pictures of the actual shape of
the bacteria. Students will have 20-30 minutes to piece together the pictures with the description
of the shape and during this activity, students will be working individually. Students will keep
this worksheet as a part of their notes to use later in the week.

Student artifacts/assessment
Quiz: Students will be given a quiz to monitor students’ progress on their understanding of
evolution lesson that was conducted on monday and tuesday.

bacteria while “solving” a puzzle. This worksheet will only be used for students for their own
project
