Ch 17 Test & Notebooks Due
Chapter 17 Test & Notebooks due today!
-Use first 15 minutes of class to study for your test and finish up notebooks
-Test taking expectations:
*Try your best, take your time, & stay focused
*No talking (everyone deserves a quiet testing environment)
*No personal electronic devices while testing
*When finished, bring your test up to me and then read, do work, listen to music quietly.
We're grading tests and notebooks differently today!
TESTS: -Use a pen and trade with a trusted neighbor
-Write your name in the blank provided for the test you're grading

-Tests need to be turned in to be entered into Synergy
NOTEBOOKS: Now you will grade the notebook of the person whose test you graded. Give them an honest & accurate grade (ask yourself: What Would Ferro Do?). Write their grade in their notebook as well as on their test paper (?/50) based on the rubric below. Make sure your notebook grade is written on your test in the appropriate spot to get credit. No need to turn in your notebook.

Warm Up; Review Bird Beak Lab; Finches Video; Speciation Crash Course Video & Notes Glue In
Warm Up: (write down the questions and answer in bold)
In the Adaptation Lab we showed how the finches of the Galapagos Islands slowly adapted to the food that was available to them on different islands. When the finches arrived on a new island, they developed adaptations over time to help them survive on that island.
1. An adaptation is _________.
When a group of finches separates from their old island, they have to adapt to their new island. Since there was reproductive isolation between the finches on the new island and the old group they came from, the finches on the new island slowly, over time, began to look different from the old finches. Eventually the finches on the old island and the finches on the new island will have different beaks. These different beaks are adapted to eat the foods they found on the island they lived on.
2.This explains the process of __________, which is defined as the formation of new species as a result of evolution.
Announcements & Upcoming Dates!

Review Bird Beak Lab Questions & Conclusions; glue lab into notebook
Galapagos Finches Video (16 mins)
Begin new right hand page in notebook (handout here)
Heading: Speciation 11/29/16
Learning Objective: I can explain how a species is defined and how new species are formed.
-Scientists may define a species based on physical features, ecological roles, or genetic similarities.
divergence - an increasing number of differences between populations; can lead to speciation
-Speciation rarely happens quickly. It happens in stages over many generations.
-A new species has formed when:
-the population has unique traits
-the population is reproductively isolated
subspecies - a population that has diverged in some way from other populations of the same species; can eventually become separate species if they become unable to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
Populations can become reproductively isolated by:

Populations can become reproductively isolated by:
-geography (location)
-ecological niche (‘job’ in an ecosystem)
-mating behavior & timing of mating
-polyploidy (genetic differences)
-hybridization (mix of 2 species that may form a new species)
