THEORY OF EVOLUTION

• The change in a population over time

• Descent with Modification

Small gradual changes over thousands of

years

Page 3: 8-1 NOTES: EVOLUTION. THEORY OF EVOLUTION The change in a population over time Descent with Modification Small gradual changes over thousands of years.

WHAT IS A THEORY?

• A scientific explanation (advanced hypothesis) that has been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment.

WHAT IS A THEORY?

• It is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it.

•EX. Cell Theory and Theory of Continental Drift

INQUIRY CUBES

• You will develop a theory explaining what is on the bottom on the cube.

• You will need to site supporting evidence for your theory from observations of other sides of the cube.
