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.

HAPPY EARTH MONTH!
Objective: To discover what factors determine which genes are passed along to future generations.
Wangari Muta Maathai ( /wænˈɡɑːriː/ /mɑːtˈaɪ/; 1 April 1940 – 25 September 2011) was an internationally renowned Kenyan environmental political activist and Nobel laureate. She founded the Green Belt Movement (GBM) is an environmental organization that empowers communities, particularly women, to conserve the environment and improve livelihoods.
GBM responds to the needs of rural Kenyan women who reported that their streams were drying up, their food supply was less secure, and they had to walk further and further to get firewood for fuel and fencing. GBM encouraged the women to work together to grow seedlings and plant trees to bind the soil, store rainwater, provide food and firewood, and receive a small monetary token for their work.
In 1984, she was awarded the Right Livelihood Award, and in 2004, she became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for "her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace."

Welcome third graders
open slide show, meet your buddies, get to work teaching about mutations that may lead to adaptations
Objective: To discover what factors determine which genes are passed along to future generations.
Due today: nothing
Agenda:
QW: Explain the terms embryo development and homologous structures. What do they have to do with deciding how closely organisms are related to each other?
Finish homologous structures
Thursday April 5, 2018
Objective: Determine how natural selection leads to adaptations in organisms.
Due today: homologous structures drawing (due Friday for periods 103)
QW: 1-3: How did yesterday go? Did you feel more confident and/or comfortable working with the 3rd graders? Why or why not? What will you do differently next time?
wrap up
group evaluations periods 1-3
