Course Objective

With the theory of evolution, science education teacher candidates limits of their biology knowledge,scientificcally explains the variety of life forms, the similarities in diversity and the sequence of changes in fossils as sets of observable facts; with anatomical and molecular evidences show that various lines of descent branched of from one another and all these resulted from natural selection and adapts to different environmental changes

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   1. To learn how does science works and what are the differences between scientific and non scientific
2   2. To understand evolution is a change of life over time
3   3. To be able to explain the evidences of evolution
4   4. To understand the genetical varieties are essential to evolution
5   5. To be able to explain how evolution results from natural selection avting upon genetical variatin within a population
6   6. Adaptation are preserved in a population by natural selection
7   7. To know that, species have evolved as a result of natural selection acting upon inherited traits in changing environments
