1. A branch of knowledge dealing with a body of ______________ or ______________ systematically arranged. 2. Systematic knowledge of the ______________ or material world gained through ______________ and ______________. 3. Knowledge, as of facts or principles; knowledge gained by ______________ study.
Scientific Method
Ask a _________________ Do Background research Construct Hypothesis Test with _________________ Analyze results Hypothesis is true or false ---> think, try again _________________ findings
Intelligent Design
The ______________ of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an ______________ ______________, not an ______________ process such as natural selection.
Evolution
Biological evolution is ______________ with modification. This definition encompasses small-scale evolution, ______________ - changes in gene frequency in a population from one generation to the next and... ...large-scale evolution macroevolution - the descent of different species from a common ___________________ over _____________ generations. Biological evolution is not simply a matter of change over time. Lots of things change over time: trees lose their leaves, mountain ranges rise and erode, but they aren't examples of biological evolution because they don't involve descent through _____________ inheritance. The central idea of biological evolution is that all life on Earth shares a common ancestor. Through the process of descent with modification, the common ancestor of life on Earth gave rise to the diversity of the various species.
Charles Darwin
What book did Darwin write explaining his theory of evolution? On the Origin of ______ Darwin travelled from England to the _____________ Islands on the HMS _________.
Video Notes
Darwin envisioned that the finches he brought back to England had originated from finches from _____________________. Darwins bold insight was to apply this model to ____________________________.
Natural Selection
Darwins idea became known as the theory of evolution by ________________ selection. Natural Selection means that organisms with ________________ best ________________ to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. Overtime, as new data was ________________ and reported, ________________ were made to Darwins original ideas about evolution by natural selection.
Adaptation
An adaptation is any variation that makes an organism better ___________ to its environment. Over time, the genetic makeup of a species might change its ______________________. Many kinds of ________________________ factors help bring about changes. When individuals of the same species move into or out of an area, they might bring in or remove genes and variations.
Variation
A variation is an ____________ trait that makes an individual different from other members of its species. Variations result from ________________. Some gene changes produce small variations, such as differences in the shape of human hairlines. Other gene changes produce large variations, such as an albino animal in a population of normal colored animals. If individuals with these variations continue to survive and reproduce over many generations, a new species can evolve.
Neo-Darwinism
The theory of evolution based on Darwins original theory of evolution of species through the process of natural ______________ together with current understandings and theories of _________________ and inheritance.
Video Notes
How many species of birds have been identified in that area? _______. The scientists were comparing species of birds in which two different ecosystems? ___________________________ and ________________________________. What tool do these scientists have that Darwin never even dreamed of?____________. Mistakes in copying DNA could lead to ______________________________. Laboratory analysis shows that the DNA of the rainforest hummingbird and the highland hummingbird differs __________________________. What species were they discussing in this video clip? ___________________________. It appears to look like a _________________________. Natural Selection acts only by taking advantage of ______________, successive variations. She can never take a ____________ and ____________ leap, but must advance by ____________ and ____________, though ____________ steps. Charles Darwin
