This document summarizes clues that provide evidence for evolution from the fossil record and comparisons between living things. It discusses how fossils are formed and dated, either relatively based on rock layers or radiometrically using radioactive elements. The fossil record shows that simpler life forms existed earlier and more complex forms appeared later, and sometimes fossils can reveal aspects of ancient organisms' environments and behaviors. Additional evidence comes from homologous and vestigial structures, embryology, and DNA comparisons that indicate evolutionary relationships between species.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Chapter 6:
Adaptations over Time
SECTION2: CLUES
ABOUT EVOLUTION
7th Grade Life Science
1CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
2. A. Clues from Fossils
1. Fossils are used as evidence of evolution.
2. Fossils are created when plants/animals die and
become covered with silt and mud.
a. Over millions of years rock forms and the imprint of the
organism is left on the rock.
3. The Green River Formation (textbook pg 163) is on of
the richest fossil deposits in the world.
2CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
3. B. Types of Fossils
1. Most of the evidence for evolution comes from fossils.
2. Most fossils are found in SEDIMENTARY rock.
a. Sedimentary rock is formed when layers of sand, silt, clay, or
mud are compacted and cemented together, or when minerals
are deposited from a solution.
b. Limestone, Sandstone, and Shale are all examples of
sedimentary rocks.
3. Fossils are found more often in limestone than in any
other kind of sedimentary rock.
4. The fossil record provides evidence that living things
have evolved.
3CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
6. C. Determining a Fossils Age
1. Paleontologists are scientists who study the history of
life on Earth.
a. The use clues provided by unique rock layers and the fossils
they contain.
i. Provide info about geology, weather, and life forms that
were present during the geological time period.
2. Two basic methods used:
a. Relative dating and radiometric dating.
6CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
7. 3. Relative Dating
a. Relative dating is based on the idea that in undisturbed
areas, younger rock layers are deposited on top of older
rock layers. (See diagram below)
7CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
8. 3. (Relative Dating continued)
b. Provides only an estimate of a fossils age.
c. Estimate made by comparing the ages of the rock layers
found above and below the fossil layer.
d. Example:
i. A 50 million year old rock layer lies below a fossil, and a 35
million year old layer lies above it; the fossil would then be
between 35 million and 50 million years old.
8CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
9. 4. Radiometric Dating
a. Gives scientists a more accurate reading.
b. Uses a radioactive elements.
c. Process of radiometric dating (Video Clip Next Slide)
9CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
11. D. Fossils and Evolution
1. Fossils provide a record of organisms that live in the
past.
a. Fossil record does have gaps…like missing pages in a book.
b. Gap exists b/c most organisms DO NOT become fossils.
2. Because of fossils, scientists have concluded:
a. Simpler life forms existed earlier.
b. More complex life forms appeared later.
3. Fossils provide indirect evidence that evolution has
occurred on Earth.
4. Fossils can be use to make models that show what the
organism might have looked like.
11CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
12. D. Fossils and Evolution (continued)
5. From fossils scientists can sometimes determine:
a. Whether they lived in groups or alone.
b. What type of food they ate.
c. What kind of environment they lived in.
6. Most fossils represent extinct organisms.
7. From fossil records, scientists have concluded that
more than 99% of all organisms that have ever existed
on Earth are now extinct. WOW!!!!!!
12CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
13. E. More Clues About Evolution
1. Sometimes Evolution can be observed directly without
fossils.
a. Plant breeders observe evolution when they use cross breeding
to produce genetic changes in plants.
b. The development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is another
example.
c. Entomologists (study insects) have noted similar rapid evolution
of pesticide resistant insect species.
2. Indirect Evidence of Evolution
a. Indirect evidence does not provide proof of evolution, but it does
support the idea that evolution takes place over time.
13CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
14. F. Embryology
1. The study of embryos
and their development
is called embryology.
a. Embryo= earliest growth
stage of an organism.
b. The similarities of Figure
12 suggest and
evolutionary relationship
among all vertebrate
species.
14CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
15. G. Homologous Structures
1. Body parts that are similar in origin and structure are
called homologous.
2. Homologous structures can also be similar in function.
3. They often indicate that two or more species share
common ancestors.
15CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
16. H. Vestigial Structures
1. Vestigial Structures are structures that don’t seem to
have a function.
2. They provide evidence of evolution.
a. Manatees, snakes, and whales no longer have back legs, but
like all animals with legs, they still have pelvic bones.
3. The human appendix is a vestigial structure
a. Appears to be small version of the cecum, which is an important
part of the digestive tract of many mammals.
16CHAPTER 6 SECTION 2 NOTES
17. I. DNA
1. Examination of ancient DNA often provides additional
evidence of how some species evolved from their extinct
ancestors.
2. Scientists can also determine how closely related
organisms are, for example, DNA studies indicate that
dogs are the closest relatives of bears.
