Cornell Notes

Topic/Objective: Evolution

Name: Anisa
Class/Period: 5th period

Essential Question:

To investigate how the earth and its inhabitants have changed over time.

Questions:
Brain Development
`

What are
Antibiotics?
What is Antibiotic
Resistant?
Why are antibiotics
not able to kill
bacteria?

Notes:
~Group Presentation:
Throughout each group presentation, the topic of brain
development was touched on the most out of
everything the groups presented. For example, in
group threes presentation, the group compared the
brain development of animals who lived in bare cages
vs. the brain development of animals who lived in
cages with toys and other animals. During the
experiment, scientist determined that animals who
have access to toys and contact with other animals
have more brain growth than animals who didnt. The
data showed that the more something is exposed to
different materials and groups of other that are like
them, then that person will have greater brain
development.
~ A medicine (such as penicillin or its derivatives) that INHIBITS
THE GROWTH OR DESTROYS microorganisms. (Dictionary
Definition)
~Occurs when has lost the ability to control or kill bacterial
growth.

Origin of Life

~Bacterial has evolved over the course of time:

Bacteria can pump antibiotics out of their system
Bacteria can stay HIDDEN
MUTATIONS have ALLOWED bacteria to RESIST the
antibiotic
~Bacteria is OVER EXPOSED to antibiotics
medical prescriptions for antibiotics
given to livestock
household cleaning products
~What is life?
Organized as CELLS
RESPOND to stindi
REGULATE internal process
~hemostasis

Use ENERGY to GROW

~ metabolism
DEVELOP over time
REPRODUCE
~heredity/ DNA/ RNA

Summary:

Questions:

Notes:
~Origin of Hypothesis:
Special Creation: Life was created by a supernatural or
divine force (NOT TESTABLE)
Extraterrestrial Origin: Original sources of organic
material are comets and meteorites striking early earth.
(TESTABLE)
Spontaneous Antibiotic Origin: Evolved spontaneously
from organic molecule. (TESTABLE)

How can someone

be considered
another species?

Punctuated
Equilibrium vs.
Gradualism

~Enough MUTATIONS in their genes that they are NO LONGER

able to REPRODUCE with another person
~To Be a Species.
Common characteristics
Genetically compatible
Interbreed under natural conditions
Sexually reproduce

~NEITHER gradualism nor punctuated equilibrium are proven.

Throughout time, evolution has shown to be a MIXTUR OF BOTH.

Summary: Throughout the course of time, scientist have pondered the thought of human existence on Earth.
There have been multiple theories that try to explain why there is life. For example, the Special Creation theory
states that all life was created by a supernatural or divine force. However, there is no way to test this theory.
Scientist today are still trying explain how and why there is life on earth.
