Lesson Plan
Lesson Plan
1) The topic of "Taxonomy and Its Importance" explores the historical development
of classification systems and their relevance in understanding biodiversity. This
connects to the objective by providing a foundation on how organisms are
categorized based on shared characteristics and evolutionary links.
2) The topic "Phylogenetics and Cladistics" delves into the use of evolutionary trees
and cladograms to represent relationships among species. This directly relates to the
objective by illustrating how modern classification is grounded in evolutionary history
and genetic relationships among organisms.
1) In Biology, the topic "Genetic Variation and Evolution" examines how genetic
changes over time contribute to the evolution of species. This connects to the
objective as it highlights the role of genetic relationships in the classification of
organisms and how evolution shapes these classifications.
2) In Social Studies, the topic "Cultural Evolution and Human Societies" discusses
how human societies evolve over time, paralleling the evolutionary changes in the
biological world. This connects to the objective by encouraging students to think
about classification systems in both biological and cultural contexts, understanding
that both are influenced by historical relationships and adaptations.
Review Motivation:
Significance - This activity will help students visualize and understand the
hierarchical structure of classification systems.
Instructions -
3) Present your taxonomy tree to the class, explaining the evolutionary relationships.
Rubric
Assessment Questions:
3) What challenges did you face while creating your taxonomy tree?
Instructions -
3) Share your cladogram with the class and discuss the significance of the
relationships depicted.
Rubric
Assessment Questions:
1) What criteria did you use to determine the placement of organisms on your
cladogram?
Materials - None
Instructions -
2) Each student contributes a sentence to build a story about the evolution of that
organism, incorporating facts about its classification.
Rubric
Assessment Questions:
ANALYSIS:
Activity 3 - The story circle fostered collaboration and creativity, allowing students to
engage with the concept of evolution in a fun and inclusive manner, thereby
deepening their understanding of classification systems.
ABSTRACTION:
Supporting Material 2 - "Your Inner Fish" by Neil Shubin illustrates how human
anatomy reflects our evolutionary past, providing insights into the classification of
species.

However, it is generally agreed that the most useful way for scientists to organize
biological diversity is to group organisms according to shared evolutionary history.
This way the grouping not only results in an organized classification, it also contains
and conveys information about our understan...

Objective:
Strategies for gathering reliable information in research writing include evaluating the
credibility of your sources, cross-referencing information from multiple sources, using
academic databases and scholarly journals, and ensuring proper citation and
referencing techniques are employed. It is essential to critically analyze the
information gathered to ensure its accuracy and relevance to your research topic.
