NGSS.MS-LS1-6

The older layers/fossils are found deeper in the ground - the newer layers are towards the top

• Law of positioning

• law of relative and absolute age

• law of fossil age

• law of superposition

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS1-4

biological change in living things (species) over time and generations

• adaptation

• variation

• evolution

• heritability

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

NGSS.MS-LS4-1

a group of organisms that can reproduce and produce fertile offspring

• fitness

• coevolution

• population

• species

Mechanism/process by which the environment causes certain variations/traits in a species to be more advantageous - this allows the organisms that display those traits to survive longer and reproduce more

• natural selection

• divergent evolution

• artificial selection

• convergent evolution

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

The mechanism/process by which humans select specific traits in other organisms and then breed for those traits/variations

• natural selection

• adaptation

• artificial selection

• evolution

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS4-5

Evolution scientist who developed a classification system to group organisms based on their similarities

• charles darwin

• carolus linnaeus

• jean baptiste lammarck

• watson and crick

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

inherited traits that are selected for over time because they allow the organisms to best survive in their environment

• fitness

• variations

• adaptations

• sexual selection

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

2 species, without a recent common ancestor, that are becoming more alike based on evolving and adapting to similar environments (dolphins and sharks)

• convergent evolution

• divergent evolution

• coevolution

• evolution
