Curriculum Expectations
SBI3U- C. Evolution
Following are the curriculum expectations for the Evolution strand of the Grade 11 biology curriculum:
C1. relating science to technology, society and the environment
C1.1 analyze, on the basis of research the economic and environmental + & - of an artificial selection technology
C1.2 evaluate the possible impact of an environmental change on natural selection and on the vulnerability of
species
C2. developing skills of investigation and communication
C2.1 use appropriate terminology related to evolution
C2.2 use a research process to evaluate some of the key factors that affect the evolutionary process
C2.3 analyze, on the basis of research, and report on the contributions of of various scientists to modern theories of evolution
C2.4 investigate through a case study or computer simulation, the processes of natural selection and artificial selection, and analyze the different mechanisms by
which they occur
C3. understanding basic concepts
C3.1 explain the fundamental theory of evolution, using the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection to illustrate the process of biological change over time
C3.2 explain the process of adaptation of individual organisms to their environment
C3.3 define the concept of speciation, and explain the process by which new species are formed
C3.4 describe some evolutionary mechanisms, and explain how they affect the evolutionary development and extinction of various species
