Animal classifications
UT- Utah Core CurriculumSubject: Science 7-12 (as of 2007)Grade / Course: BiologyStandard: Standard 5: Students will understand that biological diversity is a result of evolutionary processes.Objective: Objective 3: Classify organisms into a hierarchy of groups based on similarities that reflect their
evolutionary relationships.Indicator: a. Classify organisms using a classification tool such as a key or field guide.
Indicator: b. Generalize criteria used for classification of organisms (e.g., dichotomy, structure, broad to
specific).
Indicator: c. Explain how evolutionary relationships are related to classification systems.
Indicator: d. Justify the ongoing changes to classification schemes used in biology.

Finches of the Galapagos
Beak adaptation lab.
UT- Utah Core CurriculumSubject: Science 7-12 (as of 2007)Grade / Course: BiologyStandard: Standard 5: Students will understand that biological diversity is a result of evolutionary processes.Objective: Objective 1: Relate principles of evolution to biological diversity.Indicator: a. Describe the effects of environmental factors on natural selection.
Indicator: b. Relate genetic variability to a species’ potential for adaptation to a changing environment.
Indicator: c. Relate reproductive isolation to speciation.
Indicator: d. Compare selective breeding to natural selection and relate the differences to agricultural
practices.
Objective: Objective 2: Cite evidence for changes in populations over time and use concepts of evolution to explain
these changes.Indicator: a. Cite evidence that supports biological evolution over time (e.g., geologic and fossil records,
chemical mechanisms, DNA structural similarities, homologous and vestigial structures).
Indicator: b. Identify the role of mutation and recombination in evolution.
Indicator: c. Relate the nature of science to the historical development of the theory of evolution.
Indicator: d. Distinguish between observations and inferences in making interpretations related to evolution
(e.g., observed similarities and differences in the beaks of Galapagos finches leads to the
inference that they evolved from a common ancestor; observed similarities and differences in the
structures of birds and reptiles leads to the inference that birds evolved from reptiles).
Indicator: e. Review a scientific article and identify the research methods used to gather evidence that
documents the evolution of a species.
