Charles Darwin was a British biologist who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection, proposing that species evolved over generations through a process of natural selection. His 1859 book On the Origin of Species established evolution by means of natural selection as the main mechanism of evolution. Darwin's theory revolutionized scientific thought and helped explain the diversity of life.
Save the Panda?
The document discusses the debate around conserving giant pandas. It provides background on pandas, including that their population is around 1,800, they are listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, and their natural habitat and diet are outlined. The document also discusses the perspectives of conserving versus letting pandas go extinct. Students are asked to research keystone and flagship species, compare the threatened and endangered categories, identify other endangered species in pandas' region, and suggest conservation methods.

Science is a body of knowledge about the natural world that is studied through scientific methods like observation, hypothesis formation, experimentation, and prediction. A theory in science, like the theory of evolution, is a hypothesis that has been repeatedly tested with little modification, while a scientific law describes a fundamental principle like Newton's law of gravity. The scientific method involves making observations to define a problem, formulating hypotheses to explain it, experimenting to test hypotheses, and concluding whether the hypothesis was supported or rejected and needs modifying. Science is empirical and theoretical, relying on both experience and theoretical explanations of phenomena.

U6 L1 Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection
This document outlines Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. It discusses how Darwin was influenced by his observations on a voyage, including different finch species on the Galapagos Islands. Darwin proposed that organisms vary in traits, some traits help organisms survive and reproduce more successfully, and these traits become more common over generations through natural selection, resulting in evolution of species over time as they adapt to their environments.
Variation 2
The document outlines learning outcomes related to defining and explaining variation. It discusses how variation occurs within and between species, and can be continuous or discontinuous. Both genetic and environmental factors are described as causes of variation. Examples of continuous and discontinuous traits in plants and animals are provided.
Natural selection
This document discusses natural selection and how it helped Darwin formulate his theory of evolution. It begins by outlining three learning objectives: to explain survival of the fittest, analyze the stages of natural selection with examples, and evaluate how natural selection in the Galapagos finches influenced Darwin's theory. The document then covers various activities and lessons exploring adaptations, survival of the fittest using moths and bark, Darwin's observations of finches in the Galapagos varying by beak size and environment, and modeling natural selection through a seed picking experiment.
Natural selection
This document discusses Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection and evolution. It defines key terms like variation, reproduction, competition, and fitness. It explains that Darwin observed variation among finches in the Galapagos Islands which led him to propose that natural selection causes evolution as organisms compete for limited resources and those with traits best suited to the environment have higher fitness and are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their genes. Over time this leads to evolution of species adapted to their environments.
Bringing Reading and Writing into the Biology Classroom
The presenters argue that integrating English II concepts into the biology classroom benefits both subjects by reinforcing common academic language and increasing students' vocabulary and writing skills. They provide examples of using quotes to prompt essays explaining scientific concepts and position papers analyzing biology-related decisions to address objectives in both the science and English frameworks. The presenters encourage collaboration between English and science teachers to jointly develop assignments that teach cross-curricular content and skills.

Answer for Invasive Species: Put It on a
Plate and Eat It
By ELISABETH ROSENTHAL
With its dark red and black stripes, spotted fins and long venomous black spikes, the lionfish
seems better suited for horror films than consumption. But lionfish fritters and filets may be on
American tables soon.
An invasive species, the lionfish is devastating reef fish populations along the Florida coast and
into the Caribbean. Now, an increasing number of environmentalists, consumer groups and
scientists are seriously testing a novel solution to control it and other aquatic invasive species —
one that would also takes pressure off depleted ocean fish stocks: they want Americans to step up
to their plates and start eating invasive critters in large numbers.
“Humans are the most ubiquitous predators on earth,” said Philip Kramer, director of the
Caribbean program for the Nature Conservancy. “Instead of eating something like shark fin soup,
why not eat a species that is causing harm, and with your meal make a positive contribution?”
Invasive species have become a vexing problem in the United States, with population explosions of
Asian carp clogging the Mississippi River and European green crabs mobbing the coasts. With few
natural predators in North America, such fast-breeding species have thrived in American waters,
eating native creatures and out-competing them for food and habitats.
While most invasive species are not commonly regarded as edible food, that is mostly a matter of
marketing, experts say. Imagine menus where Asian carp substitutes for the threatened Chilean
sea bass, or lionfish replaces grouper, which is overfished.
“We think there could be a real market,” said Wenonah Hauter, the executive director of Food and
Water Watch, whose 2011 Smart Seafood Guide recommends for the first time that diners seek out
invasive species as a “safer, more sustainable” alternative to their more dwindling relatives, to
encourage fisherman and markets to provide them.
“What these species need now is a better — sexier — profile, and more cooks who know how to use
them,” she said. She has enlisted celebrity chefs to promote eating the creatures.
Scientists emphasize that human consumption is only part of what is needed to control invasive

Taxonomy
The document discusses the classification of organisms into a scientific hierarchy and how biologists determine evolutionary relationships. It describes Carl Linnaeus' development of binomial nomenclature, the modern scientific classification system with eight levels from domain to species. Biologists use shared characteristics to classify organisms, like the honeybee which is classified into the categories of Eukarya down to Apis mellifera.

1. The document discusses Charles Darwin's theory of descent with modification, which explains how all species are descended from common ancestors and have changed over time through a process known as evolution.
2. Darwin used the phrase "descent with modification" to describe how heredity and genes are passed down from parents to offspring, leading to changes in species over generations through natural selection.
3. The theory is evidenced by examples like ancient askal dogs being ancestors of modern dog breeds, showing how traits are inherited but also gradually modified.

My organism spiecies is the Aloe Vera.
Assignment Instructions
:
You will write an organism profile based on literature researched about your chosen organism. Research should come from scientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS library. Your paper should include, but not be limited to, the following topics:
1.
Introduction/background information about the species
-
Include common and scientific names of the organism, the area you and this species live (country, state, city, etc.), the area’s biome classification, etc.
2.
Life cycle of the species
-
Describe the life cycle of the organism you have chosen. The life cycle of an organism refers to the series of changes in both development and growth from its beginnings as an independent life form up until maturity, when it is able to reproduce. Organisms like bacteria have relatively simple life cycles; however other organisms (e.g., plants) have very complex stages to their life cycle.
3.
Structure and Function
-
Describe the structure and function of at least one major organ system of the species (e.g., digestive system, reproductive system). Choose one system and explain how this organism’s system is structured anatomically and physiologically. Identify any species-specific characteristics or adaptations that are particularly unique to this organism and explain why.
4.
Evolution of the organism
-
Evolution is simply heritable change over time. Sometimes changes from one generation to the next can give individuals an advantage. Specifically a trait that increases reproductive success or survival ability could be advantageous. Include a section in your profile paper about your organism’s evolution. Here are possible ways to research the topic:
a. Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about your organism’s past evolution. Search key words may include evolution, fossil, ancestor. Often technical reports from wildlife and conservation agencies have descriptions of an organism’s evolution.
b. Summarize research on any adaptive traits. Search key words include adaptation, evolution, trait, and character.
c. Find an article on the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Summarize the information describing related species. Search key words might include phylogeny, phylogenetic, and genetic analysis.
d. Use the
Tree of Life Project
to describe the phylogeny of your organism. Start at species, if possible, and trace back to the root. In addition to your summary, include any interesting patterns or unknown data.

Glencoe Biology Chapter 1 Biology: The Study of Life
This document provides an overview of biology and the scientific method. It discusses how biology is the study of life and living organisms. Biologists study the diversity, interactions, and environment of living things. The scientific method is then described as involving making observations and hypotheses, conducting controlled experiments, analyzing results, and reporting conclusions. Key terms like independent and dependent variables are also explained. The goal of biology and the scientific method is to better understand life and propose solutions to problems.
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin established the theory of evolution and theorized that species change over time through a process called natural selection. His voyage on the HMS Beagle from 1831-1836 was pivotal in the development of his theory. During the voyage, Darwin made detailed observations of plants and animals in the places the ship visited, including the Galapagos Islands. These observations, along with his subsequent research and study of collected specimens, led him to conclude that all species share a common ancestor and gradually evolve over generations through natural selection, in which beneficial inheritable traits increase an organism's chances of survival and reproduction.

Assignment Instructions
:
You will write an organism profile based on literature researched about your chosen organism. Research should come from scientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS library. Your paper should include, but not be limited to, the following topics:
1.
Introduction/background information about the species
-
Include common and scientific names of the organism, the area you and this species live (country, state, city, etc.), the area’s biome classification, etc.
2.
Life cycle of the species
-
Describe the life cycle of the organism you have chosen. The life cycle of an organism refers to the series of changes in both development and growth from its beginnings as an independent life form up until maturity, when it is able to reproduce. Organisms like bacteria have relatively simple life cycles; however other organisms (e.g., plants) have very complex stages to their life cycle.
3.
Structure and Function
-
Describe the structure and function of at least one major organ system of the species (e.g., digestive system, reproductive system). Choose one system and explain how this organism’s system is structured anatomically and physiologically. Identify any species-specific characteristics or adaptations that are particularly unique to this organism and explain why.
4.
Evolution of the organism
-
Evolution is simply heritable change over time. Sometimes changes from one generation to the next can give individuals an advantage. Specifically a trait that increases reproductive success or survival ability could be advantageous. Include a section in your profile paper about your organism’s evolution. Here are possible ways to research the topic:
a. Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about your organism’s past evolution. Search key words may include evolution, fossil, ancestor. Often technical reports from wildlife and conservation agencies have descriptions of an organism’s evolution.
b. Summarize research on any adaptive traits. Search key words include adaptation, evolution, trait, and character.
c. Find an article on the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Summarize the information describing related species. Search key words might include phylogeny, phylogenetic, and genetic analysis.
d. Use the
Tree of Life Project
to describe the phylogeny of your organism. Start at species, if possible, and trace back to the root. In addition to your summary, include any interesting patterns or unknown data.

Additional interests -
The diversity of biological organisms is vast. Therefore, if your organism has a particularly interesting aspect about its biology that is not covered in t.
Nya lesson plan5
The document outlines a lesson plan for high school students that examines the evolution of whales from land mammals to ocean dwellers through analyzing fossils and constructing a food web. Students will learn about key whale ancestors like Ambulocetus and Basilosaurus that show transitional traits between land and sea mammals. The lesson aims to demonstrate how natural selection led to anatomical adaptations in whales that allowed them to thrive in the ocean environment.

Nature of science and evolution
The document provides instructions for students to complete various classroom activities related to evolution, including a Venn diagram comparing mitosis and meiosis, defining science, completing surveys on the nature of science and evolution, modeling natural selection through an activity, and taking notes on key concepts like natural selection, fitness, and evidence for evolution such as homologous structures.
Glencoe Biology Chapter 1 Biology: The Study of Life
This document provides an overview of biology and the scientific method. It discusses how biology is the study of life and living organisms. Biologists study the diversity, interactions, and environment of living things. The scientific method is then described as involving making observations and hypotheses, conducting controlled experiments, analyzing results, and reporting conclusions. Key terms like independent and dependent variables are also explained. The goal of biology and the scientific method is to better understand life and propose solutions to problems.
Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin established the theory of evolution and theorized that species change over time through a process called natural selection. His voyage on the HMS Beagle from 1831-1836 was pivotal in the development of his theory. During the voyage, Darwin made detailed observations of plants and animals in the places the ship visited, including the Galapagos Islands. These observations, along with his subsequent research and study of collected specimens, led him to conclude that all species share a common ancestor and gradually evolve over generations through natural selection, in which beneficial inheritable traits increase an organism's chances of survival and reproduction.

For downloading more course tutorials visit https://bitly.com/12BB7Ac This pack contains BIO 240 Week 4 Natural Selection Paper Biology - General Biology Write a 1,500- to 1,800-word paper that describes Darwin’s mechanism of evolution by natural selection. Include the following points in your paper: · An explanation of Darwin’s assumptions and inferences based on his major observations. · An example of how natural selection may have worked in a population (for example, moth in New England, drug-resistant bacteria, giraffes, finches in the Galapagos Islands, or another species you select) · An explanation of how adaptations help species survive such as mimicry and camouflage. Give examples of several adaptations and explain how they enhance survival of the species. · What evidence is there to support Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection? Describe the evidence. Include a reference page with at least three outside references. Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines. It might take a while to make friends. You can be proactive by going to your class a little early on the first day. This allows you to help guide those who do not know whether or not they have arrived at the right place. This is a great way to start a conversation....
