Start of 2nd Semester-Finishing Evolution, Speciation, Hardy Weinberg

Thursday:
1.) Transcription Factors Roll Play with Steroid Hormone Diffusing into the cell to make collagen.
2.) Estrogen and Natural Selection Picture:
What do you notice about these two pictures?
3.) Go over final exam

Friday:
Quick going over different types of evolutionary structures. Then around the room to classify scenarios and pictures based on evolutionary vocabulary.
SWBAT: Describe scenarios when Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is violated.
1.) Quick Definitions of micro-evolution situations: Natural Selection, Genetic Drift (Founder Effect, Bottleneck Effect), Gene Flow, Adaptive Radiation.
2.) Around the room scenarios to identify Homologous Structures, Analogous Structures, Natural Selection, Genetic Drift, Gene Flow, Adaptive Radiation.

Monday
Day One: Species Definitions and Speciation Types...
SWBAT: Describe the different definitions of species. Show different Pine Cones and ask "How did these trees have cones that are different?"
Quick Notes: 3 different Definitions 14.1-14.2 Species Definitions 4 Different Types in notes from reading 14.2

Whiteboarding Scenarios What Happened?

Notes...
-Reproductive Barriers 14.3
How different species form
Allopatric Speciation (Different environments, genetic isolation)
Sympatric Speciation (Polyploid speciation)
Adaptive Radiation (adaptive radiation)

Show pine cones and have them relate to this speciation.

Structure and Function of Pine Branches and cones.

1.) Draw and describe what you think the parts of the pine branch are for.
2.) Then have them read the parts of the book related to conifers for homework.
3.) Show different pine cones to show speciation/divergence.

Tuesday
SWBAT: Apply the different forms of speciation in different scenarios.
1.) 100 mutations between two species occur in 50,000 years. How long ago did two species diverge from one another if 340 mutations are measured between two species?
2.) How can we find out when humans first started wearing clothes? Guesses? Why? Human Lice Evolution Video http://video.pbs.org/video/1790635347/

Wednesday
SWBAT: Descriptions of controversies from your radio shows.
1.) Vocabulary Review Quiz
2.) Working with groups to create white board presentation of radio show.

Thursday
1.) Hardy Weinberg Lab Taste-Testing with PTC.
2.) Nova Science of Picky Eaters

Friday-Go into the tree of life (fossil dig image in textbook)
Evolution: Stromatolites Nova Clip
