We can learn from fossils how much or how little organisms have changed as life developed on Earth. Understand that the fossil record is incomplete because many fossils have B explain that the fossil record is incomplete because many fossils have been destroyed by geological

been destroyed by geological activity. Suggest reasons why scientists cannot be certain how life began on Earth. activity. Causes of extinction - changes to the environment over geological time, new predators, new diseases, new competitors, a catastrophic event, through the cyclical nature of speciation. Define the term extinction. Explain how extinction may be caused. Be able to explain what is meant by extinct. Be able to give one reason why it is important to prevent species from becoming extinct. Understand that organisms become extinct because something changes and the species cannot adapt quickly enough to the new circumstances. New species arise as a result of isolation (HT only genetic variation, natural selection and speciation). Define the term species. Explain how new species arise using the term isolation. Understand that it takes millions of years for a new Write two reasons why some organisms are in danger of extinction. QWC what are the causes of extinction. Produce a flow diagram or cut-out to illustrate how new species arise C define extinction C/B describe and explain causes of extinction C describe speciation using diagrams B/A - explain how new species arise using the term isolation. Show an understanding of the time scale involved with then rise of new species.
