Objective: SWBAT will be able to observe physical traits in order to describe variation amongst a population.

Do Now:

Below is an image of a rainforest in Ecuador. The frogs (also pictured below) live there and are all the same species, a type of dart frog. Observe the frogs closely and describe them below
Describe the group of frogs in the image.

Guided Notes:

Vocabulary:

1. Environment: everything (living and nonliving) that surrounds an organism

2. Generation: a group of individuals born and living at about the same time

3. Population: a group of the same type of organism living in the same area

4. Trait: a specific characteristic of an individual organism

What caused this newt population to become more poisonous?

Practice:

Observations: Observe the butterfly closely and describe it.
List what is similar and different about the butterflies.

Why do you think the butterfly population above is different for each butterfly?

Claim 1: Some people think that some butterflies change color because they want to- butterflies are very smart creatures!

Claim 2: Some people suggest that something in the environment caused the butterflies to change color pattern

What could have changed in the environment that would cause some butterflies to have yellow and less brown on their wings?
CFS:
accurately describes the relationship between environmental changes and population variations
describes the cause and effect relationship between environmental factors and species traits

List as many (more than 5) physical observable observations as you can about the horse population on the previous page.

Describe the physical observable traits of this population.

All of the horses have the same traits because they are in the same population.

This population has different traits for color: some are brown, some are black, some are gray, and some are white.

None of the horses in this population have similar traits because they are all individuals.

The horses in this population are all the same because they all have a coat, a mane, and a tail.

These horses must not be a population because they have different traits.
