7.5: Changes in Species 3 Dimensions & Progressions

Unit 6

● I can analyze displays of pictorial data to compare

● Students review artwork about embryonic development to look for an analyze patterns

● Ernst Haeckel’s artwork of embryonic development

patterns in the embryological development across multiple species.

Formative Assessment: SEEd 7.5.4 Formative Assessment

Phenomena Assessment: Embryonic Development

Objective

Overview

Materials

● Students review different types of embryos at different stages of development and make inferences. ● Have students write a CER with the prompt, If embryo’s have similar structures in both the early stages of development and at the later stages of embryonic development, what can you infer about their evolutionary past?

● Embryo Slide Presentations ● CER Supports

● I can look for patterns in body structures and embryonic development to show possible

evolutionary relationships.
