Today we reviewed the material that allowed us to decipher the Mysterious Trio from last week.
AIM: I will list three adaptations of humans that support Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
Standard: 7.1.1 Follow the great changes in Earth's history that allowed human life to start.
Do Now
1) Vocabulary term: “Open grassland.”
2) Vocabulary term: “To take a risk or do something daring."
3) Vocabulary term: "To handle something skillfully."
4) Vocabulary term: “Something simple or historically early.”
Lesson Steps:
We started class with the daily Do Now and then went over the 9 questions from the evolution cartoon. We then corrected our practice quiz on evolution and finished with a look at our Mysterious Trio. Students were finally able to connect these three pictures based on what they have learned. Ask your son or daughter to show you the three pictures and then explain how they are connected.
Homework:
Quiz on Thursday covering the Big Bang to the Evolution of Humans.
