Click here to download a preview of this interactive notebook

The Life Science Interactive Notebook: Change Over Time & Classification chapter showcase student’s ability to:

• Explain why biologists classify organisms
• Relate levels of classification
• List characteristics used to classify organisms into groups, including domains and kingdoms
• Describe important observations Darwin made on his voyage
• Explain how natural selection leads to evolution
• State evidence that supports the theory of evolution
• Describe how most fossils form
• State what the Geological Time Scale is and how to read it – periods and eras

Each activity enables students to process the information given by the teacher then allows them to use self-direction to apply their new knowledge. The engaging activities always vary in order for all students to use and benefit from different learning styles. Activities included correlating with the Next Generation Science Standards.

Change Over Time & Classification includes the following concepts:

• Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
• Evolution of Populations
• The Fossil Record
• Classification
• Domains and Kingdoms

Activities include:

• If Darwin had Twitter, what would he have tweeted about while on his adventures aboard the HMS Beagle?
• Evolution of Populations – students will sequence the events of speciation: ecological competition, reproductive isolation, changes in gene pool, separation of populations and continued evolution
• Students will use their paleontologist skills to put together a dinosaur skeleton using “fossils” found on a dig site
• Using a dichotomous key, students will be able to identify butterflies by their genus and species (binomial nomenclature) and will also understand the classification system of domain, kingdoms, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species
• Organisms will be placed into domains – bacteria, archaea, and eukarya; as well as kingdoms: eubacteria, archaebacterial, Protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia based on their cell type, ability to make food and number of body cells

Each concept shares:

• Actual photos of both the INPUT and OUTPUT pages of Science Interactive Notebook
• Instructions on how to create/use/complete activity for OUTPUT side
• Mini-Quizzes for each concept to check students’ understanding
• Answer Keys for all mini-quizzes
• Appendix with Teacher Notes for Interactive Notebook in LARGE print.

This download is perfect for:

• Distance learning
• Independent learners
• Flipped Classrooms
