 * By the end of these lessons, students will:

//1. Darwin’s Finches and Natural Selection//
 * C2.1.** use appropriate terminology related to evolution
 * C3.1.** explain the fundamental theory of evolution, using the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection to illustrate the process of biological change over time

//2. Environment Stresses and Change//
 * C1.2** Evaluate the possible impact of an environmental change on natural selection and on the vulnerability of species
 * C2.1** Use appropriate terminology related to evolution
 * C3.2** Explain the process of adaptation of individual organisms to their environment

//3. Natural Selection and Mutation//
 * C2.4** investigate, through a case study or computer simulation, the processes of natural selection and artificial selection, and analyse the different mechanisms by which they occur
 * C3.4** describe some evolutionary mechanisms, and explain how they affect the evolutionary development and extinction of various species

//4. Reviewing a Scientific Paper on Eschericia coli Evolution//
 * C1.2** evaluate the possible impact of an environmental change on natural selection and on the vulnerability of species
 * C2.2** use a research process to investigate some of the key factors that affect the evolutionary process

5. //Case Study on Penicillin and Antibiotic Resistance//
 * C2.4** investigate, through a case study or computer simulation, the processes of natural selection and artificial selection, and analyse the different mechanisms by which they occur
 * C3.2** explain the process of adaptation of individual organisms to their environment

//6. Genetically Modified Foods: Good or Bad?//
 * C1.1** analyse, on the basis of research, the economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages of an artificial selection technology ||
