Change Over Time
7th Grade Science
![Page 2: Change Over Time 7 th Grade Science. Evolution – What Science Tells Us Process by which modern organisms have descended with modification from ancient.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7b5503460f94b7b9a5/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Evolution – What Science Tells Us• Process by which modern organisms have
descended with modification from ancient organisms.
• Modified due to adaptations – a characteristic that helps an organism survive & reproduce in its environment.
• As populations change over time, new species form.

Evidence for Change Over Time
• Fossils & Fossil Record:
-fossils found in newer layers tend to be more similar to present-day organisms.
-all living species descended from common ancestors.

Evolution of Whales
• Whales are like fish……….
but unlike fish: they breathe air, give birth to live young & produce milk.
-WHALES ARE MAMMALS!
-Scientists believe whales evolved from ancient land mammals!

Pakicetus (pak-uh-SEE-tuhs)• Earliest whale
ancestor
-land-dwelling but went in water -ran on 4 legs
-about the size of a wolf

Ambulocetus (am-byoo-loh-SEE-tuhs)
• Lived mainly in coastal waters
-good swimmer, but also waddled on land
-about the size of a dolphin

Dorudon (DOH-roo-don)• Lived in oceans – did not get out of water
-propelled itself with massive tail
-had tiny hind limbs – couldn’t use for walking or swimming.

Modern Whale
• Don’t have hind limbs….but they have tiny hip bones!
![Page 10: Change Over Time 7 th Grade Science. Evolution – What Science Tells Us Process by which modern organisms have descended with modification from ancient.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7b5503460f94b7b9a5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Vestigial Structures – more evidence
• Inherited remnants or “leftovers” of ancestors.
• Usually serve little or no function.
-ex: hip bones in whales.
-Can you think of any?

Vestigial Structures
-Humans:
-Tailbones
-Wisdom teeth
-Appendix
-Tonsils
-Hind legs on boas
-Eye stalks in blind cave bats

Homologous Structures – more evidence
-Structures that may have different functions, but are very similar skeletally.

Early Development – more evidence-Many organisms look similar during embryonic
stages.

How Does Evolution Happen?
![Page 15: Change Over Time 7 th Grade Science. Evolution – What Science Tells Us Process by which modern organisms have descended with modification from ancient.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7b5503460f94b7b9a5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Charles Darwin
-Scientists before him saw evidence of evolution.
-He was the 1st to explain how it happens.
-Served as a naturalist aboard H.M.S. Beagle.
-Journeyed to Galapagos Islands.
![Page 16: Change Over Time 7 th Grade Science. Evolution – What Science Tells Us Process by which modern organisms have descended with modification from ancient.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7b5503460f94b7b9a5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Galapagos Islands
![Page 17: Change Over Time 7 th Grade Science. Evolution – What Science Tells Us Process by which modern organisms have descended with modification from ancient.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7b5503460f94b7b9a5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Darwin’s Observations
-Studied many plants & animals…but especially finches.
-Noticed they differed from island to island & those all differed from the ones in Ecuador.
![Page 18: Change Over Time 7 th Grade Science. Evolution – What Science Tells Us Process by which modern organisms have descended with modification from ancient.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e7b5503460f94b7b9a5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Darwin’s Conclusion
-Environment & resources differed greatly from island to island.
-Finches arrived on different islands & adapted to specific environment.
-Different species formed over time.

Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection
-Individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive & reproduce.
-Survival of the fittest
-“Survival” genes passed to offspring.
-Driving mechanism of evolution.
