Natural Selection Research Your goal is to develop a clearer understanding of how evolution works through further study of the process of Natural Selection. This will support one of the major goals of Chapter 6, “Students should be able to explain the underlying biological mechanisms of evolution.” Choose one (or more) of the following to complete your research: 1. Re-read pages 311-314 in your test 2. Read the “Natural Selection” article 3. Play the Darwin’s Evolution Game http://science.discovery.com/interactives/literacy/darwin/darwin.html a. Complete “Learn about Evolution” b. Play the Survival Game 4. Go to: http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/0_0_0/evo_25 a. Read Natural selection and continue to click “Next” through Misconceptions about Natural Selection (take notes, draw sketches of the process, state examples) 5. Go to: http://www.pbs.org/teachers/connect/resources/730/preview/ a. Watch the video After you have completed your research choose one of the following to express your understanding: 1. Write a paragraph to explain the process of evolution by Natural Selection using the following terms: adaptation, population, species, selective pressure, variation, fitness/survival of the fittest. 2. Draw the process (graphic novelist, comic book) of evolution by Natural Selection. Include captions that explain each drawing using all the terms from #1. 3. Create a power point presentation that explains the process of evolution by Natural Selection (use graphics, diagrams, and all the terms from #1). 4. Create a poster or pamphlet to explain the process of evolution by Natural Selection (make it visually appealing with graphics, diagrams, pictures, etc. Also include all the terms from #1) 5. Create a storybook that explains the process of evolution by Natural Selection (make it visually appealing with graphics, diagrams, pictures, etc. Also include all the terms from #1) HAVE FUN & BE CREATIVE
