Digital Agenda March 12: Homologuos, Analagous, and Vestigial Structures

Standard: 

MS-LS 4-1 Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and
differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships.  

Objectives
1. Students will construct explanations for why homologous structures, vestigial structures, and analogous structures in modern organisms suggest evolutionary relationships by answering page 3 of the lab with a 3 or better
