Unit 6 : EVOLUTION
 Choose any 3 boxes. You may only complete 1 poster activity.
 Do each one on a separate sheet of paper.
 Staple each sheet to the back of this rubric.
Prepare a 10 question short
response quiz with answers
about the theory of
evolution by means of
natural selection.
Questions must be higher
order thinking and require
critical thinking skills.
*You must answer your
own questions.
Create a poster to define
and illustrate the four parts
of Darwin’s Theory of
Evolution. Use your own
species.
Compare and contrast
selective breeding and
natural selection using a
Double Bubble Map.
Then write about an
organisms that exist today
as a result of selective
breeding. Ex. Dogs
existence from gray wolves
Imagine you are a student in
1856 visiting Charles
Darwin in his garden. Write
a letter to a friend
describing the theory of
natural selection. The letter
should be at least one page
long.
Free Space to be Creative
(You must have teacher’s
approval)
Explain in detail 3 ways
that organisms can be

a common ancestor.
Ex. DNA, fossil records
Total point is out of 75 (each box is 25 points)

Writing Assignment: Pick
an organism. Give examples
of genetic variation among
that organism. Explain how
mutations occur. What
mutations have occurred in
your organism? Describe
traits within your species
that help them adapt to their
changes in their
environment.
Complete a poster
explaining extinction and
give 3 examples of
organisms that are now
extinct. How did these
organisms become extinct?
What adaptations were they
missing?
Complete 2-3 paragraphs
explaining how natural
selection and evolution are
related? Explain what the
causes of genetic variation
are. Explain how genetic
variation and environmental
factors contribute to
evolution and extinction?
