Subject: EARTH LIFE SCIENCE

Grade Level: Grade 11

Objective: Describe how the present system of classification of organisms is


based on evolutionary relationships.

Learning within the curriculum:

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.

Learning across the curriculum:

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.

3) What did you learn about the interconnectedness of organisms?

ANALYSIS:

Activity 1 - Students demonstrated their understanding of taxonomy by accurately


categorizing organisms, which reinforced their knowledge of evolutionary
relationships.

Activity 2 - The cladogram construction helped students visualize the evolutionary


connections among species, promoting critical thinking about classification based on
genetic traits.

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:

The classification of organisms is fundamentally rooted in their evolutionary


relationships, highlighting shared ancestry and adaptations over time. Understanding
these connections enables students to appreciate the complexity of biodiversity and
the principles of taxonomy. By recognizing patterns in classification, students can
deepen their comprehension of how evolutionary processes shape life on Earth.

Supporting Material 1 - "The Diversity of Life" by Edward O. Wilson explores the


intricate relationships among organisms and their classification based on
evolutionary history.

Supporting Material 2 - "Your Inner Fish" by Neil Shubin illustrates how human
anatomy reflects our evolutionary past, providing insights into the classification of
species.

Objective: Describe how the present system of classification of organisms is
based on evolutionary relationships.

The present system of classification of organisms is based on evolutionary


relationships, grouping organisms according to shared evolutionary history.
Taxonomy involves classifying organisms into a system that indicates natural
relationships, with the theory and practice of describing, naming, and classifying
organisms reflecting their evolutionary connections. Modern taxonomy utilizes
various lines of evidence such as morphology, fossils, embryology, chromosomes,
and biomolecules to classify organisms and demonstrate their evolutionary
relationships.

APPLICATION:

[Teaching Strategy:] Project-Based Learning

Task 1 - Create a presentation on a specific organism's evolutionary history and


classification, highlighting key adaptations and relationships with other organisms.

Task 2 - Conduct a field study to observe local biodiversity, classifying observed


organisms based on their evolutionary traits and discussing their ecological roles.

ASSESSMENT:

[Teaching Strategy:] Socratic Method

[Instructional Materials:] Discussion prompts and questions

Question 1 - How does the classification of organisms reflect their evolutionary


history?

Question 2 - In what ways can understanding evolutionary relationships impact


conservation efforts?

Question 3 - Why is it important to classify organisms based on shared


characteristics?
H.O.T.S.:

Question 1 - How might the classification system change if new evolutionary


relationships are discovered?

Answer 1 - New discoveries could lead to reclassification of certain organisms,


highlighting the dynamic nature of taxonomy.

Question 2 - Can you think of an example where classification based on evolutionary


relationships has influenced scientific research?

Answer 2 - The classification of primates has informed research on human evolution


and behavior, impacting fields like anthropology and genetics.

Question 3 - How does the concept of common ancestry challenge traditional views
of species classification?

Answer 3 - Common ancestry suggests that species are interconnected, prompting a


reevaluation of rigid classification systems that do not account for evolutionary links.
