FILE ORGANIZATION

There are multiple versions of files so you can easily manipulate and assign work to students. Sort files by file name to best organize the files since I cannot sort the files into subfolders for you (I am restricted in creating subfolders for resources Made for Google Drive).

GOOGLE CLASSROOMS

The bell ringer, INB activity, quiz, reflection, homework and reading passage are designed to be assigned to students with Google Classroom. Students complete the assignments directly in the files, permitting paper-free and electronic distribution and collection of assignments.

PDF FILES and Answer Keys

I have included PDF files - with and without answer keys - of the bell ringer, INB lesson materials, homework and reading passage with comprehension questions. Use these files when you wish to print documents for your students or to provide an opportunity for tangible learning.

Standards

NGSS3-LS4-1

Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago. Examples of data could include type, size, and distributions of fossil organisms. Examples of fossils and environments could include marine fossils found on dry land, tropical plant fossils found in Arctic areas, and fossils of extinct organisms. Assessment does not include identification of specific fossils or present plants and animals. Assessment is limited to major fossil types and relative ages.

NGSSMS-LS4-3

Analyze displays of pictorial data to compare patterns of similarities in the embryological development across multiple species to identify relationships not evident in the fully formed anatomy. Emphasis is on inferring general patterns of relatedness among embryos of different organisms by comparing the macroscopic appearance of diagrams or pictures. Assessment of comparisons is limited to gross appearance of anatomical structures in embryological development.

NGSSMS-LS4-1

Analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of life forms throughout the history of life on Earth under the assumption that natural laws operate today as in the past. Emphasis is on finding patterns of changes in the level of complexity of anatomical structures in organisms and the chronological order of fossil appearance in the rock layers. Assessment does not include the names of individual species or geological eras in the fossil record.

NGSSMS-LS2-4

Construct an argument supported by empirical evidence that changes to physical or biological components of an ecosystem affect populations. Emphasis is on recognizing patterns in data and making warranted inferences about changes in populations, and on evaluating empirical evidence supporting arguments about changes to ecosystems.

NGSSMS-LS4-2

Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships. Emphasis is on explanations of the evolutionary relationships among organisms in terms of similarity or differences of the gross appearance of anatomical structures.
