Name__________________________________________period________ 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 compared to provide evidence of evolution from a common ancestor. Ex. DNA, fossil records Total point is out of 75 (each box is 25 points) _____________________/ Due date:_____________________________ 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?
