Oct. 14	9-11 LS3A Biological evolution is due to: (1) genetic variability of offspring due to mutations and genetic recombination, (2) the potential for a species to increase its numbers, (3) a finite supply of resources, and (4) natural selection by the environment for those offspring better able to survive and produce offspring. 8,	DVD - Extinction: Record at least 10 interesting ideas from DVD	Write Reflection: What seems to bring on an Extinction Event? How is life changed afterwards?	Explain biological evolution as the consequence of the interactions of four factors: population growth, inherited variability of offspring, a finite supply of resources, and natural selection by the environment of offspring better able to survive and reproduce. Predict the effect on a species if one of these factors should change
