I. Objectives:
At the end of a 120-minute class interaction, students should be able to:
a. define evolution;
b. compare and contrast the ideas of catastrophism and
uniformitarianism;
c. discuss Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and;
d. explain how fossil records, comparative anatomy, and genetic
information provide evidence for evolution;
e. share one’s attitude toward the contrasting views of science and
religion regarding the origin of life on Earth.
II. Subject Matter:
A. Topic: Evolution
Subtopics: Origin of the Concept of Evolution
Darwin's Theory of Evolution
Evidence of Evolution
B. Reference: Vela-Evangelista, et al., (2020). My Distance Learning Buddy. A

House, Inc., Phoenix Bldg. 927 Quezon Ave., Quezon City.
C. Materials: PowerPoint presentation, images, Jam board, GIFs, Laptop,
Smartphone
D. Science Processes Involved: Observing, communicating, inferring
E. Science Concepts:
1. Evolution- is the change in the characteristics of a species over
several generations and relies on the process of natural
selection.
2. Principle of Catastrophism- states that, catastrophic events
end a natural history of life and consequently change how a new
period of life develops.
3. Uniformitarianism- states that Earth’s physical landscape
underwent long and continuous change. This idea was adapted
by Charles Darwin.
4. Lamarckism- that the driving force of evolution is the
inheritance of acquired characteristics brought about by the
environment.
5. Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution- states that evolution
happens by natural selection.
6. Adaptation- refers to any change in the structural or behavioral
characteristics of an organism that helps it thrive in its
environment.
7. Fossil- refers to the remains or imprints of a dead organism
preserved in rocks or sediments.
8. Analogous structures- refer to body structures similar between
two unrelated species and has the same function.
9. Homologous structures- refer to body structures that are
similar in different species due to common ancestry.
10. Vestigial structures- refer to reduced forms of a formerly
functional structure.
11. Comparative biochemistry- a branch of science used to show
the common ancestry of species by examining the DNA and
amino acid sequences.
III. Procedure:
A. Preliminary Activities:
1. Routine
a. Greetings
b. Classroom Management
c. Checking of Attendance
d. Prayer
2. Motivation
Activity 1: Students will write the word that comes to their mind
when they see or hear the word “evolution” into the Jam board.
B. Presentation
The teacher presents the new lesson by presenting an
image and asking the students to generate their own ideas using
the words they input in the Jam board. Then, they will answer the
question that follows:
Do you agree that organisms evolve? Why?
C. Development of the Lesson
The teacher will discuss the lesson through a PowerPoint
presentation.
Guide Questions:
1. What is evolution?
2. What is the difference between catastrophism and
uniformitarianism?
3. Why is adaptation important? How does it help with
the survival of species or animals?
4. What is Darwin’s theory of evolution all about?
D. Generalization:
Students will ponder about the question. Do you believe in
evolution? Why or why not?
E. Fixing Skills:
Students will answer 10-item crossword puzzle to be
answered within 10 minutes.
I. Evaluation:
Students will answer a 10-item multiple choice test.
1. It refers to the change in the genetic composition of a population over
successive generations.
a. Catastrophism
b. Creationism
c. Evolution
d. Uniformitarianism
2. Natural selection acts on ___________, which in turn may result in the
evolution of __________ overtime.
a. Species, species
b. Individuals, families
c. Population, individuals
d. Individuals, population
3. Pandas developed longer wrist to better eat bamboo overtime and in
turn increase their chance of survival. This is an example of:
a. Fitness
b. Adaptation
c. Artificial selection
d. Comparative anatomy
4. How does natural selection contribute to the theory of evolution?
a. Over time, natural selection results in changes in the
inherited characteristics of a population
b. Those species who survived catastrophic events long time ago
are more fitted than those species who died.
c. With human intervention, species with desirable traits are
interbred to produce more 'fitted' species.
d. Natural selection has nothing to do with evolution.
5. He was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist who developed
the theory of evolution by natural selection.
a. George Cuvier
b. Charles Lyell
c. Charles Darwin
d. Jean Baptiste-Lamarck
6. A fossil is:
a. A living organism
b. A man made artifact
c. A trace of long-dead organism
d. A layer of rock or soil
7. Which of the following is an example of an evidence of evolution in
terms of comparative anatomy?
a. analogous structures
b. homologous structures
c. vestigial structures
d. all of the above
8. Analogous structures are similar structures with ______ function in
unrelated species that do not share common ancestry. Homologous
structures are similar structures in ________species due to common
ancestry. Vestigial structures are reduced forms of formerly _________
structures of the ancestors of a species.
a. different, functional, same
b. same, different, functional
c. same, functional, different
d. different, same, functional
9. Evidence of evolution include the following EXCEPT:
a. comparative anatomy
b. fossils
c. environment change
d. comparative biochemistry
10. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
a. All living organisms do not vary genetically. These genetic
variations are passed from generation.
b. Species with a common ancestry have similarities in their DNA
and amino acid sequences
c. Fossil records are used to compare ancient species with their
modern counterparts.
d. Natural selection suggests that individuals that are less fit to the
environment are eliminated.
II. Agreement:
Students will answer these questions:
1. Do you believe in evolution? Why or why not?
2. What is your attitude towards the unending debate of science
and religion regarding the origin of life? Which do you believe more,
Science or The Bible? Why?
This assignment is worth ten points.
