Brief Statement of Purpose: The students will understand how evolution, natural selection, adaptation and diversity have helped to ensure that some traits will survive in the various kingdoms. Materials and Resources Needed for Module: Module packet on Diversity and Adaptation Stimulus included in module Time Required for Module: Two class periods Prerequisite Skills: Prior to the assessment, the students should have knowledge of Diversity and Adaptation. Special Instructions for Administration: c. The Performance Event included in this module focuses on a few components of a MAP Performance Event. d. Hand out the module and make sure students understand what is expected Pre-assessment Instructions:
2 Constructed Response Diversity and Adaptation S 1 With permission from Duncan McAlpin (Backyard gardener.com) 1. Some insects look like sticks. Explain how this trait could be an advantage to these insects. 2. How could this trait have evolved through natural selection?
3 S 2 3. Explain one type of evidence from modern-day organisms that scientists use to determine evolutionary relationships. 4. What role does geographic isolation play in the formation of a new species? 5. Predict how an extreme change in climate might affect natural selection in a species.
4 S 3 With permission from Brett Hartman (Smithsonian Northern Fur Seal) 6. A human arm and a seal s flipper have very different functions. What evidence might scientists look for to determine whether both structures evolved from the forelimb of a common ancestor?
5 S 4 7. Explain how variation of color in a species might affect natural selection. 8. It is believed by most scientists that the ancestors of modern giraffes did not all have long necks. Some had long necks, while some had short ones. Use the idea of natural selection to explain why giraffes no longer have short necks.

7 Performance Event Diversity and Adaptation S 6 Taken with permission from Jim Pheasant at Purdue University The Persistent Bug There are some insects, such as this boll weevil, that continually build up a resistance to the efforts of farmers to protect their crops. The boll weevil is regarded as the most destructive insect in North America; they cause $200 $300 million dollars in damage to cotton crops each year. Farmers try to protect their crops by using insecticides, but the boll weevil seems to always return with a tolerance to that insecticide. Below is a chart for the years 1909 through 1927 that shows the average percent of cotton crop lost to the boll weevil. Average percent of cotton crop Crop season Lost Insecticide Brand C Brand C Brand C Brand C Brand M Brand M Use this chart to answer questions 1, 2, 3 and Explain when the effect of insecticide use on the boll weevil population was the most beneficial to the farmer.
8 S 7 2. Make a comparison between the use of Brand C on the boll weevil population between 1909 to 1915, and the use of Brand M on the boll weevil population between 1923 and Why do you think the farmer waited until 1923 to change insecticides?
9 S 8 4. Which insecticide (Brand C or Brand M) had the greatest effect on boll weevils at the beginning of usage? Explain why. The following chart shows the results of an experiment to control boll weevils using an insecticide called Axodrin. Use this chart to answer questions 5 and 6. Number of boll weevils per 300 balls of cotton in the untreated cotton field Before experiment 20 After first treatment of insecticide 20 After second treatment of insecticide 20 Number of boll weevils per 300 balls of cotton in the insecticide treated cotton field Before experiment 22 After first treatment of insecticide 10 After second treatment of insecticide 22
10 S 9 5. Draw a graph of the chart above. 6. Explain what the graph shows about the effect of insecticides on boll weevils.
11 S Use what you know about natural selection to develop a scientific explanation for the effect of insecticides on insect populations.

Use what you know about natural selection to develop a scientific explanation for the effect of insecticides on insect populations. key element Certain insects are not affected by insecticides.
