NGSS Standards:
3-LS3-1.
|
Analyze and
interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits
inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in
a group of similar organisms.
|
3-LS3-2.
|
Use evidence to
support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the
environment
|
3-LS4-2.
|
Use evidence to
construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among
individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving,
finding mates, and reproducing.
|
MS-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
|
MS-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.
|
MS-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.
|
MS-LS4-4.
|
Construct an
explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of
traits in a population increase some individuals’ probability of
surviving and reproducing in a specific environment.
|
MS-LS4-6.
|
Use mathematical
representations to support explanations of how natural selection may
lead to increases and decreasesof specific traits in populations over time.

Mae C. Jemison (born
October 17, 1956) is an American astronaut and physician who, on June 4, 1987,
became the first African-American woman to be admitted into NASA’s astronaut
training program. On September 12, 1992, Jemison finally flew into space with six
other astronauts aboard the Endeavour on mission STS47,
becoming the first African-American woman in space. In recognition of her
accomplishments, Jemison has received several awards and honorary doctorates.
Mae C. Jemison
First African-American Woman Astronaut
After more than a year of training, she became the
first African-American woman astronaut, earning the title of science mission
specialist — a job that would make her responsible for conducting crew-related
scientific experiments on the space shuttle.
When Jemison finally
flew into space on September 12, 1992, with six other astronauts aboard
the Endeavour on mission STS47, she became the first
African-American woman in space.
During her eight days
in space, Jemison conducted experiments on weightlessness and motion sickness
on the crew and herself. In all, she spent more than 190 hours in space before
returning to Earth on September 20, 1992. Following her historic flight,
Jemison noted that society should recognize how much both women and members of
other minority groups can contribute if given the opportunity.
Currently, Mae devotes much of her attention to the 100 Year Starship, which she says is “pursuing an extraordinary tomorrow to create a better world today.” In her spare moments, Mae is a lifelong and accomplished dancer.
Objective: To discover what factors determine which genes are passed along to future generations.
Agenda:
QW: Explain overproduction and competition that determine what organisms are selected for in nature. Make guesses if you don't know.

Agenda:
QW: watch video then write
Explain how this demonstrates natural selection
Begin analysis-graph beak success on chromebooks
Answer on page opposite data.
Claim Evidence Reasoning to answer the question?
a. Which beak was the most generalized (best overall) (use your data to support your claim)?
b. Which beak was the most specialized (only able to feed on one type of food) (use your data to support your claim)?
