DISCIPLINARY LEARNING:
LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF O.Sc.4.1. Describe types and characteristics of cells, the cellular cycle, reproduction
mechanisms and the constitution of tissues. Experiment and understand the complex
THE UNIT:
structure and the organization levels of living matter
EC.Sc.4.5. Explain the biological evaluation through guided investigations about
evolutionary evidence (fossil record, continental drift and massive extinction of species),
the principles of natural selection and processes that generate biological diversity. Infer
the importance of the determination of eras and geological times of Earth through
EVALUATION CRITERIA: radioactive dating and its applications.
EC.Sc.4.7. Propose measures to prevent (use of antibiotics and vaccines) contagion and
spread of bacteria and virus, based on their characteristics, evolution, structure, function
of the immune system and immunologic barriers, types of immunity, ways of transmission,
as well as identifying other pathogenic organisms for human beings.

natural selection using the
examples of Darwin finches.
