STATION 1: Answer the following: 1)What is evolution? 2)These bones are known as? 3)What does the similarity of these structures indicate? 4) What are vestigial structures? Examples? 5) Occasionally, a mutation will give an organism a survival advantage over its relatives, and it may live on in conditions where the other dies. This is natural selection & evolution at work. A good example of this is a mutation in a bacteria that makes it A. a weaker species B. recyclable C. a less common species D. resistant to antibiotics

STATION 1: Answer the following:

1) What is evolution?2) These bones are known as?3) What does the similarity of these structures indicate?4) What are vestigial structures? Examples?5) Occasionally, a mutation will give an organism a survival advantage over its relatives, and it may live on in conditions where the other dies. This is natural selection & evolution at work. A good example of this is a mutation in a bacteria that makes it

A. a weaker speciesB. recyclableC. a less common speciesD. resistant to antibiotics

REST STATION:

• WORK ON YOUR REVIEW GUIDE/ ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE

Station 2:

1) Name the main three types of evidence we have that evolution has occurred?

2) What is Homology? What are the types of homology that show evidence of evolution?

3) What is the most reliable source of evidence we have that shows evolution has occurred?

4) Which fossil layer is the oldest? Youngest?

Station 3:

Explain in your own words how natural selection drives evolution.

Make sure to include all aspects of natural selection.

Create an image to represent each of the 5 aspects of natural selection.

Provide an example of how their theories differ.-The different species of finches in the Galapagos Islands originated from a single ancestral species. What is it about these islands that are responsible for the diversity of finch species?-Which of the following is an example of adaptation?• The stretching of a giraffe’s neck to reach the highest leaves• The mutation of bacteria to resist antibiotics• A person putting on a coat due to cold weather• Migration of an organism to obtain food

Station 6: -Amoxicillin is an antibiotic used to treat ear infections. What is the MOST likely reason why some bacteria have become resistant to the drug?a. They have learned to survive in its presenceb. They are able either to avoid it or to metabolize itc. Those few bacteria that were resistant survived and became more common in the populationd. The manufacturers of the drug have made it less potent over time

She concludes that this organism must belong to which kingdom? a. Protista c. Animaliab. Plantae d. Eubacteria Which of the following lists the taxa from broadest to most specific?a. domain, kingdom, class, order, phylum, family, genus, speciesb. species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domainc. phylum, kingdom, class, family, order, genus, domain, species d. domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
