About This League
Understanding life's origins is fundamental to biology. This league explores the foundational theories that explain the diversity of life on Earth. Students will gain a comprehensive grasp of evolutionary principles and their historical development.
What you will learn
Upon completion, you will be able to:
- Define life and articulate key questions surrounding its origins and study.
- Explain Charles Darwin's pivotal contributions and the context of his scientific revolution.
- Describe the mechanism of natural selection and provide examples of adaptation.
- Analyze the diverse types of evidence supporting evolutionary theory.
- Understand the Modern Synthesis and its implications for contemporary evolutionary biology.
What this league covers
| Module | What it covers |
|---|---|
| What is Life? The Big Questions | Defining life, understanding why we study its origin, and exploring early ideas before Darwin with key terms and scientific method basics. |
| Darwin's World: A Revolution in Thought | Discovering Charles Darwin's life and voyage, the significance of fossils, the Galapagos Islands, and early observations of variation. |
| Natural Selection: The Engine of Evolution | Exploring survival of the fittest, adaptation with a peppered moth case study, and understanding trait inheritance through the Design Your Own Creature! interactive. |
| Evidence for Evolution: Putting it All Together | Revisiting fossil evidence, comparative anatomy, embryology, biogeography, and molecular biology through a matching activity. |
| Beyond Darwin: The Modern Synthesis and What's Next | Integrating Darwin's ideas with genetics, understanding the Modern Synthesis, witnessing evolution in action today, and exploring the ongoing story of life's origins. |
This league equips you to understand the foundations of evolutionary biology and sets the stage for exploring The Germ Theory of Disease.
A look inside
Prerequisites
- Comfortable reading longer texts and following an argument.
- Familiar with cells, genes and inheritance at school level.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the key components of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection.
- Explain the basic requirements for life to arise on Earth, as suggested by scientific hypotheses.
- Describe the concept of common descent and its implications for the diversity of life.
- Define essential biological terms related to the origins of life and Darwin's theory, such as variation, inheritance, and adaptation.
- Illustrate the process of natural selection using a simple, hypothetical example.
- Summarize the main lines of evidence that support Darwin's theory of evolution.
