Evolution Overall Expectations: > >  Big Ideas:
 * C1. analyse the economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages of an artificial selection technology, and evaluate the impact of environmental changes on natural selection and endangered species;
 * C2. investigate evolutionary processes, and analyse scientific evidence that supports the theory of evolution;
 * C3. demonstrate an understanding of the theory of evolution, the evidence that supports it, and some of the mechanisms by which it occurs.
 * Evolution is the process of biological change over time based on the relationships between species and their environments.
 * The theory of evolution is a scientific explanation based on a large accumulation of evidence.
 * Technology that enables humans to manipulate the development of species has economic and environmental implications.
