“Who are the people that we

discussed yesterday?”

“Okay, we talked about the people

who have contributed in studying the
evidence of evolution.”

Who are these people? Give their - George Louis Leclerc

names. - George Cuviar

George Louis Leclerc- first described

descent with modification brought by
environmental influences, migration,
geographical isolation and the
struggle for existence.
Georges Cuvier – catastrophism
James Hutton and
Charles Lyell – uniformitarianism
Jean Baptiste de Lamarck – was
the first biologist to believe that life
forms do evolve.
Charles Darwin – On the Origin of
Species by Means of Natural
Selection.

C. Establishing a

“THEORIES OF EVOLUTION”

After the activity, they will be

presented with the new lesson
objectives for the lesson.

The students will read the learning

questions will be asked to the
students until the person was

This is Charles Darwin (1809-

1882), the person behind the most
famous theories of evolution, the
Theory of Natural Selection.

- Naturalist
- Proposed the Theory of
Natural Selection.

Before Darwin and Lamarck, Let us

first get familiar with the theories that
come before them.

Creationism is the idea that living

things are created and have
remained unchanged since the
beginning.

Catastrophism is the idea that

violent and sudden natural
catastrophes have resulted to the
death and extinction of most plants
and animals. After each catastrophe,
God created new sets of life forms.

Uniformitarianism claims that large

geological changes occurred, not in
catastrophic events, but by the
gradual accumulation of small
geological changes over long periods
of time.

E. Discussing JEAN BAPTIST DE LAMARCK AND The students will listen to the key
New Concepts HIS THEORIES OF EVOLUTION point notes given by the teacher
and Practicing and will try to answer the
New Skills #1 questions provided.

Procedure
1. Cut the construction papers
into different shapes (same
shape, same color).
2. Cut 15 pieces with different
colors and shapes.
3. Hold all of the cut-out shapes

5. Count and record the number
of cut-out paper that you have
picked up.
6. Do this three times.

Fitness – refers to the ability of an

organism to survive and produce

Variation – is a population that

contains different individuals with
various characteristic and abilities.

“What are the different disturbances

that can affect the survival of
organisms?”
