Evolution – the Evidence
Inquiry question: What is the evidence that supports the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection?
Students:
● investigate, using secondary sources, evidence in support of Darwin and Wallace’s Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, including but not limited to:
– biochemical evidence, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology and biogeography
– techniques used to date fossils and the evidence produced
● explain modern-day examples that demonstrate evolutionary change, for example:
– the cane toad
– antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria
