96-99 Dichotomous Keys (or Shark Time)
Yes, we now use DNA to identify organisms, but the old way of looking at physiological components or anatomy still works pretty well!
Try to identify the sharks using the KEY, and then follow the questions as you create your own on the last page!

95 Classification
Let's take a look at the various ways that organisms are grouped by biologists - and remember how scientific names are used (homo sapiens!)
92 93 Cladogram - Constructed Reponse
First, we took a look at a cladogram, and then we discussed it from the perspective of creating a CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE answer in which we evaluated two different responses.
Our goal (on p.93) was to explain how the cladogram worked, how biologists use such a tool to demonstrate the relatedness (and possible common ancestry) of different organisms, and to do so in a format that can quickly demonstrate our ability to communicate such information.

91 Evolution of Populations Part 2
Let's put a few more labels on our concepts - what allows/helps species drift apart into new species?
Focus on ISOLATING MECHANISMS (3), and
try to put together a FLOW MAP for what happened to Darwin's finches.

90 Evolution of Populations - Part 1
We've discussed and investigated this concept of evolution in populations over time, now let's organize our knowledge and slap some labels on the major concepts.
Do a Cornell Notes session on pp.393-400
Focus on sources of GENETIC VARIATION and
NATURAL SELECTION
