7.5: Changes in Species 3 Dimensions & Progressions

Unit 6

STANDARD ●​ 7.5.4 Analyze data to compare patterns in the embryological development across multiple species to identify similarities and differences not evident in the fully formed anatomy. (MS-LS4-3)

CONCEPTS

SKILLS

●​ Patterns in embryological development ●​ Similarities and differences in anatomy

●​ Analyze data ●​ Identify

LEARNING PROGRESSIONS

●​ Different species of animals have similar and different structures and functions. ●​ Looking at patterns in embryos across species can help us identify even more similarities and differences.

VOCABULARY

●​ Embryological ●​ Embryo ●​ Organism ●​ Development ●​ species

●​ Anatomy ●​ Reproduce

●​ Traits ●​ Features

●​ Organ ●​ Tissue ●​ cell

POSSIBLE PHENOMENA ●​ Many different types of animals look the same in early embryonic development. END OF UNIT COMPETENCY WITH LANGUAGE SUPPORTS ●​ I can analyze similarities and differences in embryo development across different species.

DIFFERENTIATION IN ACTION

●​ Choose 2 organisms and review their embryological development. Create an infographic or document explaining similarities and differences in embryos.
