MYTHS DERIVED TRAITS Tue, 9/9/08 10:36 AM 21. It is difficult to relay how evolution is covered in my coursework by topics. There is not a day that passes that evolution is not somehow incorporated into my lessons. As Theodosius Dobzhansky once said, "Nothing in Biology makes sense except in the light of evolution". 22.

Darwin's Dangerous Idea Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Lines of Evidence Mon, 8/18/08 11:41 AM 65. I teach everything I can about evolution. Each unit in AP Biology and Biology has a connection to evolution. Of course I teach the basics, like molecular, fossil, and anatomical evidence, but I also use evolutionary history to connect and explain biological diversity. A main theme in my courses is the unity and diversity of life. One of my favorite units is sexual selection. I could go on and on! The most important topic I would say is the mechanism of natural selection. Mon, 8/18/08 11:36 AM 66. DARWIN & NATURAL SELECTION Mon, 8/18/08 11:22 AM 67.

5 mechanism in which the Genetics unit and Ecology units are connected. Natural Selection concepts are also covered 70. History of Life Non-Lemarkian History of Darwin Survival of the fittest Process takes place over an extremely long amount of time. Adaptations 71. As the county science supervisor, I am teaching teachers to incorporate evolution as a recurrent theme throughout all of biology 72. I'm an environmental science and chemistry teacher, so I've addressed evolution only from the contexts of ecosystem niches/speciation and the discussion of the origins of elements. Mon, 8/18/08 9:46 AM Mon, 8/18/08 9:09 AM Sun, 8/17/08 10:34 PM 73. Chemical Origin Darwinian Punctuated Equilibrium Sun, 8/17/08 9:48 PM 74. I cover evolution through four different themes. When we talk about organization we discuss orgins of life and how life evolved into the diffrent kingdoms, along with major theroies and natural selection. When we talk about energy transformation we discuss the endosymbiotic theory and how mitochndria and chloraplast evoled into organelles. In growth and reproduction we talk about molecular clocks and current evidance of evolution. We also discuss antibiotic resistance bringing natural selectin back. When we talk about equalibrium and ebb and flow of organism populations we discuss survival of the fittest and tie evolution back into that. Sun, 8/17/08 8:34 PM 75. Natural selection and classification Sun, 8/17/08 7:43 PM 76. Natural Selection Evolutionary History History of Life Sun, 8/17/08 3:20 PM 77. Evolution is major concept in every part of my AP Biology course. In each and every unit I mention evolution and constantly tie each concept back to a basis in evolution. I think it is impossible to separate evolution from any area of the Biology curriculum. 78. Phylogeny, systematics, taxonomy, homologous and analogous structures, Darwinian evolution 79. history of evolutionary thought, evidence for evolution (focus on DNA and protein homology), fossils, human evolution, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, comparative vertebrate anatomy, constructing and interpreting cladograms 80.
