Did you find something?
(7) Science concepts. The student knows evolutionary theory is a scientific explanation for the unity and diversity of life. The student is expected to:
(A) analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental;
(B) analyze and evaluate scientific explanations concerning any data of sudden appearance, stasis, and sequential nature of groups in the fossil record;
(C) analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not individuals;
(D) analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection, including inherited variation, the potential of a population to produce more offspring than can survive, and a finite supply of environmental resources, result in differential reproductive success;
(E) analyze and evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation and to the development of diversity in and among species;
(F) analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms, including genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, and recombination; and
(G) analyze and evaluate scientific explanations concerning the complexity of the cell.
Hardly damning stuff.
- unimpressive 14y agoNo. I figured I'd make it easier for interested parties to evaluate the standards by linking them. Without comment.

- unimpressive 14y agoWhat's that supposed to mean? Unless of course you think that making people use a search engine to find it will encourage more people to look.

- unimpressive 14y agoI checked wikipedia to make sure that it was indeed the organization I was looking for. So if you mean "did I read the webpage?" yes I did. I did a quick control-f on the high school social studies standards for some terms of interest. (Eg. 'Creationism' 'Religion') If you mean "Did you read all of the standards in their entirety?" no, because I honestly don't care that much. With that in mind, this will be the last post I make defending myself against whatever it is you're trying to accuse me of. EDIT: Unless it was the wrong link, but taking a second look it appears correct.
