Evolution Unit: Day 1 Cornell Notes

Part 1: Read and ANNOTATE using the steps below.

Evolution is process through which organisms change over time. The

theory of evolution was first introduced by Charles Darwin in 1859 in his

book, The Origin of Species. In this book, Darwin claimed that all life

including bees, bananas, humans, etc descended from one common

ancestor and evolved to create new species over time. Darwin came up with

the theory by studying fossils and wildlife in different parts of the world.

Specifically, Darwin studied the fitness of these organisms; which is the

ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment.

1. What is evolution?

2. Who first introduced the idea of evolution?

3

Annotation Steps

Underline key words and write what you know

Circle words you dont know and try to define with context clues

Make connections to prior knowledge

______________________________________

3. Define fitness.

4. There are 3 types of polar bears: ones with thick coats, ones with thincoats, and ones with medium coats. It is fall, soon to be winter. Thetemperatures are dropping rapidly and the bears must be kept warm,

otherwise they will freeze to death. Many of the bears have had 2cubs each, but due to the extreme temperatures, many mothers onlyhave one cub left.Which type of fur do you think is best for the bears? Why?

One cause of evolution is the process ofnatural selection. Natural

selection is sometimes referred to as survival of the fittest. In natural

selection, organisms that are more fit (have genes that are more

competitive) in a population survive, while organisms whose genes cannot

compete die out. Over time, the population evolves, or changes, as the

organisms with good genes become the entire population.

5. What is natural selection?

6. How did natural selection occur in the bear story you read earlier?

An adaptation is a change in an organism that allows it to better survive in

an environment. For example, in the video we watched some Lagunas

adapted longer tails and the ability to swim in order to get food underwater.

This didnt happen over night. This adaptation took several hundreds of

years.

7. What is an adaptation? Give an example.

8. The bears with thicker fur were better able to survive the winter. What

is one adaptation these bears would want for the hotter summer

months?4

Part 2: Peppered moth activity!

DIRECTIONS: The directions for this activity are very important!

Read with detail!

1. Pair up with ONE person sitting at YOUR table (do not get up and

move). One person needs to be the predator and one person needs to

be the data collector. Fill in the blanks with your names:

_________________________________ is the data collector and

_______________________________ is the predator.

2. You are about to receive a plastic bag filled with black and white dotes.

The dots of paper represent different colored insects on a tree. The

black construction paper represents the trunk of the tree. Once youhave read this, silently raise your hand for your materials.

3. Data collector, carefully pour the dots on the black sheet of

construction paper so that they are evenly spaced on the sheet.

Predator, you need to close your eyes until the data collector tells you

to open them.

4. Data collector, let the predator know that they will have only 10

seconds to pick up as many insects (dots) that they see and place

them to the side of the paper. When the predator is ready, say go

and count to ten.

5. Once the time is up, data collector, count how many white insects and

how many black insects the predator grabbed.

Number of white insects collected _________ Number of black insects

collected _________

Post-Lab Questions1. What color dots were most often collected?

2. How does the characteristic of color affect the survival rate ofinsects? (Hint, if the predator is a bird and the dots are insects,which are you more likely to eat and why?)

3. Using what you know about natural selection, what would yousay would be the color characteristic of future generations ofinsects living on dark colored tree trunks? Why? (Include the termnatural selection in your response!)

Homework for Evolution day 1

found in earlier species(2) Fossils are the remains of present-

day species and were all formed atthe same time
