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.
