=Stage 1 Identify Desired Results= E5: Evolution Grade 9- Diploma Students describe the interactions between and among species, populations, and environments that lead to natural selection and evolution. b. Describe the origins of life and how the concept of natural selection provides a mechanism. ||
 * **Establish Goals:** **(G)** ||
 * Maine Learning Results: Science and Technology- E. The Living Environment

//What understandings are desired?//
•There is evidence that supports evolution •There are multiple forces that drive evolution ||
 * //Students will understand that:// **(U)** ||
 * •All forms of life exhibit evolution

//What essential questions will be considered?//
•How is the evidence of evolution connected? •How are the multiple forces of evolution similar and or different? ||
 * **Essential Questions:** **(Q)** ||
 * •Why is evolution important to life?

//What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit?//
•Key Factual Information: Natural selection can only occur under specific conditions. Evolution into different species is caused by the multiple factors as well as natural selection. •Critical Details: Without evolution organisms would not be able to adapt. Natural selection is the driving force of evolution, even though there are many factors that contribute. || •b.describe the origins of life and how the concept of natural selection provides a mechanism. •Illustrate some forms of natural selection •Decide which evidence best shows evolution •Compare the different forms of natural selection •Assume the role of someone who believes in Creationism •Reflect on the ideas of both evolution and Creationism ||
 * //Students will know:// **(K)** || //Students will be able to:// **(S)** ||
 * •Terminology: natural selection, evolution, fossil record, disruptive selection, directional selection, stabilizing selection,allopatric speciation, homologous structures, analogous structures, residual structures, intelligent design
