QFD: Some people can’t be fooled on April Fool’s Day because they were fooled too many times during their entire lifetime.”
?FD : Differentiate between the various types of natural selection
Learning Objective:Construct an explanation based on evidence that the process of evolution primarily results from four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited resources, and (4) the proliferation of those organisms that are better able to survive and reproduce in the environment
HS-LS2-8. Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce.
1) film clip
2) notes review for test

QFD : April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.” ― T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land
?FD : how long did you study for the test ?
Learning Objective:Construct an explanation based on evidence that the process of evolution primarily results from four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited resources, and (4) the proliferation of those organisms that are better able to survive and reproduce in the environment

QFD: the world is its own magic.” ― Shunryu Suzuki
?FD : Have you ever created a website before ? Do u remember the one we created at the beginning of the school year and your password?
Learning Objective: Construct an explanation based on evidence that the process of evolution primarily results from four factors: (1) the potential for a species to increase in number, (2) the heritable genetic variation of individuals in a species due to mutation and sexual reproduction, (3) competition for limited resources, and (4) the proliferation of those organisms that are better able to survive and reproduce in the environment
HS-LS2-8.
Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce.
1) website creation
2) pick an endangered species to study and investigate

QFD : rain in April is abominable,”Like a slap in the face when you expected a kiss.”
?FD : Describe and analyze the methods scientists use to prove the theory of evolution
Learning Objective: HS 2-7 Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.*

Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce.
1) website design

2) endangered species project

Step one , create a website that explains the who what where when and why of a endangered species and include pictures and graphs to emphasize your findings

QFD : April showers bring May flowers.. Unless you live near coachella , then your flowers die due to the rain precipitated by the patrons ..
?FD : Describe how genes play a role in evolution of species, be specific
Learning Objective: HS 2-7 Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.*Evaluate the evidence for the role of group behavior on individual and species’ chances to survive and reproduce.


1) film about endangered species

2) website finish step one …
