1 The following are curriculum-based learning outcomes which may be applied to junior high and high school activities: Geological Timeline Exercise: - provide examples of Canadians and Canadian institutions that have contributed to our understanding of local, regional, and global geology (112-12) - compare some of the catastrophic events, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, that occur on or near the Earth s surface (311-4) - develop a chronological model or geological time scale of major events in Earth s history (209-4, 311-6) - describe theories on the formation of the solar system (312-1) - describe theories on the origin and evolution of the universe (312-3) - compare and contrast different types of procaryotic and eucaryotic cells (314-7) - explain the roles of evidence, theories and paradigms in the development of evolutionary

2 - explain the roles of evidence, theories and paradigms in the development of evolutionary - illustrate the geologic time scale and compare it to human time scales (332-4) Modern Equivalents Exercise:

3 Natural Selection Game: - apply the concept of a food web as a tool for interpreting the structure and interactions of a natural system (111-6)

4 - explain how a major scientific milestone revolutionized thinking in the scientific communities (115-3) - describe historical and cultural concepts that have changed evolutionary concepts (316-1) - explain how a major scientific milestone revolutionized thinking in the scientific communities (115-3) CSI Joggins:

5 - construct arguments to support a decision or judgment, using examples and evidence and recognizing various perspectives (118-6) knowledge ( construct arguments to support a decision or judgment, using examples and evidence and recognizing various perspectives (118-6) - identify and describe science and technology-based careers related to the science they are studying (117-7) - develop, present and defend a position or a course of action based on findings (215-5) - explain and describe the process of fossil formation (364-5) - value the role and contribution of science and technology in our understanding of phenomena
