    3. The fossil record shows that organisms that lived long ago were _​_______________​_from those that we see today.
    4. When scientists started studying dinosaur fossils in the 1820’s, they thought that all dinosaurs were basically giant
    _​_______________​_
    5. Fossils make it clear that only _​_______________​_ can explain the origin of these new kind of organisms.
    6. For instance, fossils taught us that whales used to _​_______________​_
    7. The fact that so many organisms share so many finely detailed structures shows us that we’re _​_______________​_
    8. Our limbs have the same structure because we descended from the same _​_______________​_something like this
    Morganucodon.
    9. So yeah, our structures are the same as other mammals and other vertebrates but it also turns out that our
    _​_______________​_ are the same as like everything.
    10. If we were to find life on Mars, the sure way of knowing whether it’s really extra-terrestrial is to check and see if it
    has _​_______________​_ in it.
    11. All living things on our planet use _​_______________​_ and/or _​_______________​_ to encode the information that
    makes them what they are.
    12. The more closely related species are, the more of the same _​_______________​_they have.
    13. So the human genome is _​_______________​_ identical to that of a _​_______________​_, our closest evolutionary

    14. Half of our genes are the same as in _​_______________​_ _​_______________​_, which are animals at least.

    _​_______________​_
    16. Animals that are the most similar and most closely related tend to be found in the same _​_______________​_
    because evolutionary change is driven in part by _​_______________​_ change.
    17. Direct observation evolution. The fact is we have seen _​_______________​_ take place in our own lifetimes.

    22 Microevolution, allele changes that happens rather quickly and in _​_______________​_ populations.

    Part 4:​ ​Forelimbs in Animals Reading and CATCH Annotations 10 MIN.
    Directions:
    1. ​Read and CATCH Annotate the handout according to the following
    checklist.
    2. Answer the Thinking Questions.
    Part 5:​ Forelimbs in Animals Coloring 10 MIN.
    Background:​ ​On your Homologous Structures Handouts, you can see the bone structure of different
    animal forelimbs. The human hand has been labeled for you, but not on the other animals. Using the human
    hand as a reference, identify the parts in the other animal hands by
    coloring them in the right color.

    1. COLOR THE PRINTED HANDOUTS 


    1. Look at the human, bat and bird hand handout. Color
    each part of the human arm a different color.
    a. Color the ​phalanges in ​ORANGE
    b. Color metacarpals​ in ​YELLOW
    c. Color the ​carpals​ in ​BLUE
    d. Color the ​ulna​ in ​RED
    e. Color the ​radius​ in ​GREEN
    f. Color the ​humerus​ in ​PURPLE

    2. On the next handout, find the corresponding homologous bone in the


    other species and color them.
    a. Color the ​phalanges in ​ORANGE
    b. Color metacarpals​ in ​YELLOW
    c. Color the ​carpals​ in ​BLUE
    d. Color the ​ulna​ in ​RED
    e. Color the ​radius​ in ​GREEN
    f. Color the ​humerus​ in ​PURPLE
     
     
    2. Glue the HANDOUTS in your NOTEBOOK 
     
    Part 6:​ Forelimbs in Animals Coloring Discussion Questions
    Directions: 10 MIN.
    1. Copy the following questions in your ​NOTEBOOK
    2. Use the handouts you colored to answer the questions below IN YOUR NOTEBOOK: 
    1. In your own words, what are ​homologous structures​?

    2. Describe how the bones are arranged in the pictures you colored. What ​similarities​ do you see?

    3. ​Describe how the bones are arranged in the pictures you colored. What ​differences​ do you see?
    4. These structures are ​formed in similar​ ways during embryonic development and share like arrangements;
    however, they have somewhat​ different forms and functions. These limbs are called homologous
    structures. ​Describe another example of homologous structures.

    5. How are ​homologous structures ​evidence of evolutionary relationships?

    6. Based on these structures, which animal do you think a human hand is most closely related to: whale,
    lizard/crocodile, cat, bird, bat? ​Why? Make sure to include the words humerus, radius, ulna, carpals,
    metacarpals, and phalanges in your response.

    Part 7:​ Natural Selection Quiz Reflection 10 MIN.
