Evolution
Very good. To measure if you understood
our lesson last meeting, let’s have a
game. I have here eggs and these

lesson. We are going to sing the science
song. Whoever holds the eggs when the
song is finished will be the one to answer
the questions. Are my instructions clear? Yes Ma’am

What is evolution? Evolution - the change

in inherited traits over
successive generation
in population of
organisms.

What are the two types of evolution? Divergent and

Convergent Evolution

What are the 4 evidences of evolution? Fossil Records,

Comparative Anatomy,
Embryonic
 Development, and
Genetic Information
We have discussed two types of Fossil The two types of fossil
Records. What are those? records are imprints
and compression.

What are the two methods to determine Relative Dating and

the age of fossils? Radioactive Dating

Let’s move with the second evidence Homologous,

which is the Comparative Anatomy. We Analogous and Vestigial
have 3 types of structures. What are Structure
those?

What is the next Evidence? Embryonic

Development, many
organisms have similar
embryos supporting the
ideas of same
ancestors.

What is the last evidence? Genetic Information, it

is the changes in the
DNA eventually lead to
the evolution of new
species.

Is our topic last meeting clear? Yes Ma’am.

Do you have any questions or
clarifications regarding the topic? None Ma’am.
Okay very good!!!

questions in mind regarding our
existence?

In today’s lesson we’re going to find out

what are other theories which talks about
the evolution of organisms on earth.

ENGAGE We have here few terms and all you have

to do is to match it with its definition.

1. Theory

2. Selection
 3. Survival

EXPLORE For our activity for today, I will group you

into three.

This is what you should do. I have

prepared here the materials that you will
be needing. All you have to do is follow
the procedure and answer the guide
questions. I will only give you 10 minutes (The students will
to perform the activity. perform the activity)

Is that clear, do you any questions?

Okay you may now start.

Guide question:

1. Who are the two scientist who

proposed theories of evolution?

2. What are the theories propose by

Lamarck? Darwin?

3. Create a concept Map out of the given

information. Indicate only the important
details.

EXPLAIN Are you done? Yes ma'am

Everyone posts your answer on the

board, will check your answers.
(Reporting Starts).
Let’s start with group one followed with
the group two and the last, group three.

1. Who are the two scientist who 1. Jean Baptiste de

proposed theories of evolution? Lamarck and Charles
Darwin.
2. What are the theories propose by
Lamarck? Darwin? 2. Jean Baptiste de
Lamarck believe that
organisms change over
time. Using fossil
records as a guide,
Lamarck was able to
develop 3 theories
namely; theory of
needs, theory of use
and disuse and theory
of acquired
 characteristics.

While Charles Darwin

proposed the Theory of
Natural Selection where
its main idea is that

promote the survival of
the fittest and
eliminates the less fit.

ELABORATE Based on the activity, what do you think is Theories of Evolution

our topic? proposed or developed
by Scientists namely,
Jean Baptiste Lamarck
and Charles Darwin.

Very Good. Let’s start with Jean Baptiste

Lamarck and his Theories.

Who is Jean Baptiste Lamarck? Jean Baptiste Lamarck

developed the first
theories on how species
change. He concluded
that organisms of higher
complexity had evolved
from pre-existing less
complex organisms.
What are the theories developed by
Theory of Needs,
Lamarck?
Theory of use and
disuse and theory of
acquired
characteristics.

In this lesson we are going to use the

most common example which is the
giraffe to explain the theories of evolution.
This giraffe will be used to explain
Lamarck’s and Darwin’s Theory.

Let’s first use Lamarck’s giraffe. What can

you say about the picture?
 The giraffe before has
short necks and
developed long necks in
time.

Exactly! Now let’s discuss the 3 theories

using these giraffes.

What is Lamarck’s first theory? Please Theory of Need- states

read. that organisms change
because they need to.
In order for an organism
to evolve its structure it
must need the
structure.

(The teacher will discuss further and state

other examples applicable in order for the
students to understand each theory.)
Theory of Use and
Let’s now move with the second theory of Disuse- if you don’t use
Lamarck. it, you lose it.
Organisms develop
specialized
characteristics by the
use and disuse of
organs.

Theory of Acquired
Characteristics – if a

structure during its
lifetime, it could pass on
its characteristic
structure to its offspring.

So that was the theory of Lamarck

explains to us. That was according to his
views that time. However, a lot of
experiments disproved his theories
especially the third one which is the
Acquired Characteristics. Petals of Flower

Very Good!

Now let’s discuss who is Charles Darwin

and what is his theory all about.

He proposed an entirely different Charles Darwin

mechanism to account for the evolution of travelled using a ship
species. His theory of evolution by natural called HMS Beagle and
selection became the foundation of on his long voyage he
modern evolutionary studies. reached Galapagos
Island. He was able to
see 13 of variety
finches which varied in
size and shape from
island to island. From
the data of the finches,
he was able to write a
book entitled the origin
of species. In this book
he presented his theory
of evolution through
natural selection.

Natural Selection –
Now what is natural selection? individuals within a
population with the
most favorable traits for
an environment survive
and pass on those
traits.

In short Survival of the Fittest!

The theory of natural selection has main

1.Over production –
points and we will just focus with 4.
organisms tend to over
reproduce.

2. Competition – there
is a struggle of
existence and the
survival of the fittest.
Living space and food
become limited.
 3. Variation- no two
individuals are the
same. Plants and
animals of the same
species differ in size,
strength and adaptive
structures.

4. Adaptation – it is the
process of becoming
better suited to the
environment. It
improves and
organisms’ chance of
survival.
Before we continue let’s first compare
Lamarck’s giraffe with Darwin’s giraffe.

The teacher will explain further about the

illustration.
