OF : Understand that the classification of organisms is built over time based on taxonomic criteria. Recognize evidence
that supports that the diversity of organisms is a result of evolution. Understand that fossils are formed from the
remains of animals and plants, in sedimentary rocks, and that they are located, according to their age, in the strata of
the Earth.
OT : Development of cognitive skills in solving PSU exercises.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
 Read carefully all the instructions and questions presented in each item and then answer.
 When answering, remember to take care of your spelling, legibility and writing when necessary.
 You must use blue or black pencil (not graphite pencil) and smudges are NOT accepted, otherwise the answer will be
canceled and will not be considered a score.
