Belief vs. Understanding
Our beliefs are important to us. They are valid and serve valuable purposes in our life
Science isn’t about telling you what to believe – or about telling you that what you believe is wrong. Rather, Science is about UNDERSTANDING the world around us. You don’t have to believe it, but you should understand it.

Today we will watch two video clips from the PBS Series Evolution – Evolving Ideas
You will copy the questions for each section into your lab notebook before watching, and then answer the questions while you watch.
Video: Evolution Questions 11Segment 1: Isn't Evolution Just a Theory?
1. What is a theory?
2. What does Darwin's theory of natural selection aim to explain?
Most Species that have lived on Earth are now Extinct!
Extinction of species is common.
Extinction of species occurs when the environment changes and the individual organisms of that species do not have the traits necessary to survive and reproduce in the changed environment.
Extinct: The Dodo Bird
The Dodo was a large, flightless bird
It was a relative of pigeons and doves
The last dodo died sometime in the late 17th century
Darwin –a naturalist who proposed and provided scientific evidence that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors
Natural Selection – survival of the fittest organisms that are the best adapted to their environment and will live long enough to reproduce and pass on those adaptations
• Theory – a explanation that ties together many hypothesis and observations
