Unit Overview
Unit Overview: The students will examine the
evolution of living organisms through inherited
characteristics and natural selection. They will
investigate the survival of organisms and their
successive generations as related to their inherited
characteristics and adaptations. They will utilize the
fossil record found in sedimentary rock as an
important tool in providing evidence of evolution.
Refer to GPS Framework for acceptable tasks.
General Concept Overview – change over time ie
finches and peppered moths, natural selection, fossil
record
Georgia Performance Standards
Focus Content Standard
• S7L5. Students will
examine the evolution of
living organism through
inherited characteristics
that promote the survival
of organisms and survival
of successive generations
of their offspring.
Elements
• S7L5a. Explain how physical
characteristics of organism
have changed over successive
generations.

Essential Questions
Characteristics of Science
• Essential questions:
• How do physical characteristics of
organisms demonstrate/support
the theory of evolution?
• How does natural selection affect
the evolution of species on earth?
• How does the fossil record
provide evidence of evolution?
• How does natural selection and
survival of the fittest affect
biodiversity?

curiosity, honesty, openness, and skepticism in
science and will exhibit these traits in their own
efforts to understand how the world works.
S7CS2. Students will use standard safety practices

and materials in scientific activities.
S7CS6. Students will communicate scientific ideas
and activities clearly.
S7CS7. Students will question scientific claims and

curriculum areas
Georgia Performance Standards
Complementary Standards
• S7L3. Students will
recognize how biological
traits are passed onto
successive generations.
• S7L4. Students will
examine the dependence
of organism on one
another and their
environments.
Elements
• S7L3a. Explain the role of
genes and chromosomes in
the process of inheriting a
specific trait.
• S7L4c. Recognize that
changes in environmental
conditions can affect the
survival of both individuals
and entire species.
Enduring Understandings
• Physical characteristics of organisms may adapt
over time in response to environmental changes.
• Changes in species occur due to natural selection,
reproduction and environmental conditions.
• Fossils provide evidence of change.
• Earth and its living organisms have a history of
change and this is called the theory of evolution.
• Organisms that were best adapted to deal with
change throughout time have survived, while
other organisms have become extinct.
•
•
•
Review class rules/procedures, team discipline, and team
incentive requirements.
Read and discuss the EMS Student Handbook in the
planner (emphasize the tardy policy)
•
Review the CCBOE policy on electronic devices
(page 13 of attached CofC)
•
Review the CCBOE dress code policy with
emphasis on highlighted sections (page 11 in CofC)

•
Textbook check: please make a list of students who are
missing a textbook.

Unit Overview – Interactions Among
Living Things
Unit overview: This unit will lead students in understanding
that the sun is the primary source of energy, and that
organisms depend on one another as well as their
environment for survival. Students will be able to use and
create a food web to demonstrate that matter and energy
are transferred and recycled among organisms and their
environment.
Refer to GPS Framework for acceptable tasks.
General Concept Overview – food webs, energy pyramids,
recycling of matter, carbon and nitrogen cycles,
symbiotic/competitive relationships, biotic and abiotic
factors
Georgia Performance Standards
Focus Content Standard
• S7L1. Students will

living organisms and how
they can be compared
scientifically.

examine the dependence
of organisms on one
another and their
environments.

S7L1a. Demonstrate the process for the
development of a dichotomous key.
S7L1b. Classify organisms based on physical
characteristics using a dichotomous key of
the six kingdom system (archaebacteria,
eubacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and
animals). S7L4a. Demonstrate in a food web
that matter is transferred from one organism
to another and can recycle between
organisms and their environments.
S7L4b. Explain in a food web that sunlight is
the source of energy and that this energy
moves from organism to organism.
S7L4c. Recognize that changes in
environmental conditions can affect the
survival

Fishes, with an apostrophe, also serves as the plural possessive of fish—for
example, the fishes’ scales were yellow. And of course fishes is the presentprogressive verb (e.g., she fishes in the river).
Fishes also appears in the cinematic gangster idiom sleep with the fishes, used to
indicate that someone has been whacked (and perhaps given a water burial)
