In this unit, we learned about many things. First off, we learned about the different species of animals that lived in the past. We looked at how animals are classified, and what characteristics were used to classify them. There are many special features about the animals evolved, and fossils allow us to see these incremental changes. It is also important to note the kingdoms had very specific requirements to have a certain animal within them. We also learned about how animals evolve. The bad genes get filtered out, and the good genes get passed on. This explains how fish were able to become land creatures. The fish genes got filtered out because they were unable to survive, and the land adapted genes took off because they were able to survive. Refer here to look at my reflection on Your Inner Fish. Here is a cool picture showing a land fish.
This is one of the links in history where fish moved onto land. The fins evolved into the long bone, short bone, many bone structure. This is just one example of what we've learned in this unit.
