LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. To provide a background understanding of the influence the creation story as told in the Bible
exerted on the beliefs of Western thinkers in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. 2. To understand the contributions made by C. Darwin, A. R. Wallace, J. Hutton, C. Lyell and other
scholars of the latter part of the1800’s and early 1900’s to our basic understanding of the process of evolution.
3. To understand Gregor Mendel’s research into the principles of heredity and its importance to the
development of the modern synthetic theory of evolution.

Show videos #9 (on the lives of Darwin and Wallace) and the first half of #12 (the life of Gregor
Mendel) of the Ascent of Man series. Discuss the impact of the culture of the times on the research and lives of these men.
2. Give your students some examples of how the scientific methods works. Do this by distributing and
discussing two or three articles from recent professional journals that show (A) hypothesis construction, (B) data collection and analysis, (C) hypothesis falsification or support, and (D) theory modification or support.
3. Have your students visit a natural history museum and write a report on the fossils observed in the
museum. 4. Describe one of your research projects and how you used the scientific method to reach your
conclusions. SUGGESTED FURTHER READING Browne, Janet. Charles Darwin: The Power of Place. New York, Knopf, 2002. Browne, Janet. Charles Darwin: Voyaging. New York, Knopf, 1995. Darwin, Charles. On the Origin of Species. Cambridge (MA), Harvard University Press,

LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. To understand the science of genetic and the mechanisms of evolutionary change within the framework of the modern synthetic theory of evolution. 4. To show the relationship between individual survival and subsequent characteristics of the
population. 5. To describe the chemistry (DNA and RNA) of the genes and its role in protein synthesis. 6. To examine non-Darwinian evolution (gene flow, founder effect and genetic drift). 7. To understand the concept of the species and the processes of speciation and extinction. 8. To comprehend the Hardy-Weinberg theorem.

KEY PEOPLE G. H. Hardy Ernst Mayr W. Weinberg DISCUSSION TOPICS 1. To establish the fact of assortative mating have your students interview ten couples as to their level of
education, place of birth, hair color, eye color, height and weight. Have the students present and discuss their results in class.
2. Anthropology is a good way to get students to think about genes and inheritance. Have the students work in pairs and score each other for the following traits: • Hair Whorl Pattern: Clockwise is dominant to counterclockwise. • Earlobe Attachment: Free earlobes are dominant to attached earlobes. • Tongue Rolling: The ability to roll the tongue into a U shape is dominant to the lack of the ability to
roll the tongue upward. • PTC Tasting: Have students taste PTC test paper which can be purchased from a biological supply
company. Tasting is dominant to nontasting. When the students have finished, have them work out their genotypes and share the information by writing it on the board. 3. Pre-prepared slides can be purchased from biological supply companies. Have the students look
through a microscope and view slides of mitosis and sickled red blood cells. The students should describe and discuss what they see.

KEY PEOPLE Karl von Linne Matt Cartmill DISCUSSION TOPICS 1. Show videos with of primates and have the students take notes on the major features of the
behavior and morphology of the primates. Have the students report their observations. For videos try the Penn State Audio-Visual Services, the Teacher’s Video Company in Scottsdate, Arizona, and the Educational Video Network in Huntsville, Texas. You might try showing the videos with the sound turned off.
2. Have students examine skeletons of primates and note the major differences between each
subgroup of primates. Primate skeletons can be purchased from science supplies companies such as Carolina Biological Supply Company, Burlington, NC.
3. Have students get into small groups and map their folk taxonomy of a group of items such as
moving vehicles, cloths, or alcoholic drinks. Assign the whole class the same group of items. When they have completed their folk taxonomy, have two or three students put their taxonomies on the board and discuss the relationship between their folk taxonomies and biological taxonomic systems.
