12th Grade Evolutionary Response To Anthropogenic Change Resources

Analyze the causes and effects of environmental degradation, global warming, and natural resource depletion. Understand essential ecological concepts and their implications.

Understanding the differences between homologous, vestigial, and analogous structures in species enhances comprehension of evolutionary concepts. Learners will expand their knowledge of biology as they study the significance of these structures in illustrating evolutionary relationships and adaptations across different species. The focus will be on honing analytical skills pertinent to identifying and explaining these evolutionary markers.

Understand the impacts of human activities on climate and ecosystems by examining global warming and habitat loss. Analyze how human behavior is a driving force behind environmental change and explore strategies for achieving sustainability. Develop knowledge of the interplay between human actions and environmental health, along with critical thinking skills to assess solutions for sustainable living.

Investigate the impacts of climate change and technological advancements, particularly electric vehicles, while understanding the influence of policies and the critical need for immediate actions. Focus on acquiring a comprehensive understanding of these issues, their interconnectedness, and the role of policy in driving significant progress toward environmental sustainability.

Study the fundamental concepts of evolution, focusing on definitions, ancestral origins, and adaptation mechanisms. Develop proficiency in explaining evolutionary evidence through examples, such as the case of the peppered moth. Achieve a comprehensive understanding of how these concepts illustrate the processes of natural selection and environmental influences on species.

Study key evolutionary concepts, focusing on anaerobic and aerobic processes, as well as the development of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Gain an understanding of evolutionary evidence and structures.

Investigate the evolutionary changes in the skull and jaw sizes of hominids, with a focus on comparisons between humans and chimpanzees. Understand evolutionary mechanisms and the development of brain function through this exploration.
