BIO.B.3: Theory of Evolution
BIO.B.3.1: Explain the mechanisms of evolution.
BIO.B.3.1.1: Explain how natural selection can impact allele frequencies of a population.
BIO.B.3.1.2: Describe the factors that can contribute to the development of new species (e.g., isolating mechanisms, genetic drift, founder effect, migration).
BIO.B.3.1.3: Explain how genetic mutations may result in genotypic and phenotypic variation within a population.
BIO.B.3.2: Analyze the source of evidence for biological evolution.
BIO.B.3.2.1: Interpret evidence supporting the theory of evolution (i.e., fossil, anatomical, physiological, embryological, biochemical, and universal genetic code).
BIO.3.3: Apply scientific thinking processes, tools, and technologies in the study of the theory of evolution.
BIO.B.3.3.1: Distinguish between the scientific terms: hypothesis, inference, theory, law, principle, fact, and observation.

CRSD Videocast 8.aviEvolution
In this video, the concepts of speciation and genetic equilibrium are reviewed. The video also reviews the evidence supporting the Theory of Evolution.
Genetic Drift with the Amoeba Sisters
In this video, the Amoeba Sisters discover what happens when random events meet allele frequencies: genetic drift. This video also discusses the bottleneck and founder effect as well as contrasts genetic drift with natural selection.
Natural Selection with the Amoeba Sisters
In this video, the Amoeba Sisters discover natural selection as a mechanism of evolution. This video also uncovers the relationship of natural selection and antibiotic resistance in bacteria and emphasizes biological fitness.
Speciation with the Amoeba SIsters
In this video, the Amoeba Sisters explore speciation. This video discusses sympatric and allopatric speciation and covers several types of isolation types including behavioral, temporal, and habitat isolations.
