• A Trip Around the World
• While on his voyage around the world aboard the
  H.M.S. Beagle, Charles Darwin spent about one
  month observing life on the Galápagos Islands.
  There, he encountered some unique animals, such
  as finches and tortoises.

1. On a sheet of paper, list five animals that
you have encountered in the past two days. 2.
How do these animals differ from the finches and
tortoises of the Galápagos Islands? (Examine
Figures 153 and 154 in yourtextbook.) 3.
Propose a hypothesis to account for the
differences between the animals that you observed
and the finches and tortoises of the Galápagos
Islands.

• My, How Youve Changed!
• Prior to the 1800s, life scientists knew that
  living things changed over generations. They just
  didnt know how these changes were brought about.

1. Divide a sheet of paper into two columns and
title the first one Inherited Characteristics.
Title the second column Acquired Characteristics.
In the first column, list the characteristics
that you believe you have always had. For
example, you may have brown eyes or curly hair.
2. In the second column, list your acquired
characteristics. For example, you may have
learned how to play a musical instrument. 3.
Which of the items in your lists do you think
you might pass on to your children? Explain your
answer.

Movement of Earths Crust

Sea level
Sea level
Sedimentary rocks form in horizontal layers.
When part of Earths crust is compressed, a bend
in a rock forms, tilting the rock layers.
As the surface erodes due to water, wind, waves,
or glaciers, the older rock surface is exposed.
New sediment is then deposited above the exposed
older rock surface.

• 1. On a sheet of paper, construct a table that
  has five columns and six rows. In the columns,
  write the following heads Animal Group, Example,
  Legs, Fins, and Tail. Then, place the following
  animal groups in their own row Mammal, Bird,
  Fish, Amphibian, Reptile, and Insect.
• 2. Give one example for each group, and then fill
  in the informationfor that example. For Legs,
  write in the number of legs that eachanimal has.
  Do animals with fins have legs? Do animals with
  wingshave legs? If so, how many?
• 3. Can you tell from your table if a fish is more
  closely related to a birdor to an amphibian?
  Explain your answer.

1. On a sheet of paper, list five animals that
you have encountered in the past two
days. Sample answers dogs, cats, insects,
snakes, birds, and so on. 2. How do these
animals differ from the finches and tortoises of
the Galápagos Islands? (Examine Figures 153 and
154 in yourtextbook.) Students may not see a
noticeable difference between birds in their area
and finches. However, the land tortoises, which
are very large, would be very different from any
turtles that students may have on their lists. 3.
Propose a hypothesis to account for the
differences between the animals that you observed
and the finches and tortoises of the Galápagos
Islands. Sample hypothesis Animals become well
suited to their surroundings.

title the first one Inherited Characteristics.
Title the second column Acquired Characteristics.
In the first column, list the characteristics
that you believe you have always had. For
example, you may have brown eyes or curly hair.
Students should list traits that are
genetically influenced. 2. In the second column,
list your acquired characteristics. For example,
you may have learned how to play a musical
instrument. Remind students that many features,
including skills, appearance, and athletic
ability, can be changed to some degree by
effort. 3. Which of the items in your lists do
you think you might pass on to your children?
Explain your answer. Genetically influenced
traits are passed on. Some items, such as musical
or athletic talent, may have both inherited and
learned components.

  write the following heads Animal Group, Example,
  Legs, Fins, and Tail. Then, place the following
  animal groups in their own row Mammal, Bird,
  Fish, Amphibian, Reptile, and Insect.
• 2. Give one example for each group, and then fill
  in the informationfor that example. For Legs,
  write in the number of legs that eachanimal has.
  Do animals with fins have legs? Do animals with
  wingshave legs? If so, how many?
• Fish do not have legs. Birds have two legs,
  while insects have six legs (three pairs).
• 3. Can you tell from your table if a fish is more
  closely related to a birdor to an amphibian?
  Explain your answer.
• It is difficult to tell from the table that a
  fish is more closely related to an amphibian than
  to a bird. Accept all reasonable explanations.
  Students may say that the fish is more closely
  related to the amphibian than to the bird because
  an amphibian and a fish spend time in the water.
