Review "Games"
Below is a system like Kahoot but you can do it at home. I have turned off the timer so you can take as long as you need to read the questions. At the end you should see the answer and you should be able to do these review questions as much as you want.

Please use appropriate names, I can see them. If you do it a second time you may have to change your name. Just change it by putting a number behind it. Like Meg 1 or Meg 2 or Meg 3.

Evidence for Evolution


Fossil Evidence 
            Video #1 ~ 5 minutes: Goes through the discovery of finding a transitionary fossil between fish and amphibians and how the fossil is used.



Molecular Evidence 
             Video #1 ~ 4 minutes: Look more at the structural similarities between all organism.

              Video #2 ~ 3 minutes: Looks at the differences between organisms. If they are closely related there will little to no differences however the more distance relatives will have more differences.



Anatomical Strucutres 
                 Video #1 ~ 1 minutes: Discusses homologous structures

                 Video #2 ~ 2 minutes: Discusses anatomical structures also called convergent evolution. Remember that Hyenas and dogs are not common ancestors (hyenas are closer to cats) but both evolved the same bone structure and teeth that allow them to crush bones.

                  Video #3 ~ 4 minutes: Discusses Vestigial Structures

Endosymbiotic Theory

Video Clip 1 ~ 6 minutes: Discusses the theory in "plain English" or breaks the theory down into small part (would be good to watch if you have no idea about what is going on). Also talks about the definition.

Video Clip 2 ~ 2 minutes: Start at 20 seconds (the prior material you do not need to know). Shows a visual of the process and also talks about the evidence behind the process.

Video Clip 3 ~ 3 minutes (what you actually watch): The video is a little "out there" however it talks about the entire process and where these cells come from. You many want to watch the video a couple times to get a full understanding of what it is talking about. Some information to help you understand the process are-
             phagocytosis: a cell eating another cell
             When Arnold (yellow) was eaten, he was consumed by Humprey (blue). This is what
                       normally happened at this time.
              Only when Humprey (blue) ate Olga (red) and Phinneaus (green) did they create a symbiotic
                       relationship which created out mitochondria and chloroplasts.
              Also realize there are more then one type of cell in plants.

History of Life

Clip 1 ~ 6 minutes: Compares the Earth's life to one calendar year (Jan - Dec)

Clip 2 ~ 1.5 minutes (of what you need to watch): Compares the Earth's life to 24 hours (1 day)
