MS-LS4-3 Biological Unity and Diversity
|
Students who demonstrate understanding can: Analyze displays of pictorial data to compare patterns of similarities in the embryological development across multiple species to identify relationships not evident in the fully formed anatomy. |
Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on inferring general patterns of relatedness among embryos of different organisms by comparing the macroscopic appearance of diagrams or pictures.
|
Assessment Boundary: Assessment of comparisons is limited to gross appearance of anatomical structures in embryological development.

Analyzing and Interpreting Data:
- Analyzing data in 6â8 builds on Kâ5 experiences and progresses to extending quantitative analysis to investigations, distinguishing between correlation and causation, and basic statistical techniques of data and error analysis.
- Analyze displays of data to identify linear and nonlinear relationships.
|
Evidence of Common Ancestry and Diversity:
- Comparison of the embryological development of different species also reveals similarities that show relationships not evident in the fully-formed anatomy.
