Curated OER
Diversity/Natural Selection
Young scholars examine mechanisms behind biological evolution and the theories that feed it, and are able to demonstrate their knowledge of these theories in a story.
Curated OER
Co-evolution of Plants and Pollinators
Young scholars explore biological evolution and natural selection and its evolutionary consequences. They also explore how organisms are interdependent on one another.
Curated OER
Exploring the Galapagos
Learners explore the species found in the Galapagos Islands and practice descriptive writing skills by creating a sample journal. They create a fictional journal that documents the places they visit and the species they encounter.
Curated OER
Using Living Organisms to Explain Evolution
Students investigate evolution in its most fundamental form: the observation of living organisms. By comparing variations that exist among living animals, students formulate their own hypotheses and conclusions about the evolution of...
Curated OER
How Life on Earth Began
Seventh graders investigate the concept of evolution and how it was a mechanism for the foundation of life on Earth. They conduct research and attempt to make cognitive connections with the evidence to agree with the presupposition of...
Curated OER
Candy Dish Selection
High schoolers explore natural selection. They explore the concepts of adaptations, and the way which random factors affect the survival of individuals and populations.
Curated OER
Island Biogeography
Students work in small groups to sort through photos of an ecosystem following a major disturbance. They place these photos in chronological order to show the process of succession. They then do an experiment with yeast to show the...
Curated OER
Unnatural Selection
Students identify quotation marks and demonstrate the uses of quotation marks. They rewrite sentences without quotation marks and discuss how the meanings can change without the use of quotation marks. In addition, they make their own...
Curated OER
Carnivorous Plants
Students examine how carnivorous plants get their nutrients from animals. For this food web lesson students examine how the plants attract their prey and are given many onilne sources to research.
Curated OER
How Evolution Works
Students discuss the evolution of the eye and how a complex organ can evolve through natural selection. They research genetic variation, adaptation, and sexual selection. They analyze data to determine how beak length of Gal??pagos...
Curated OER
Struggle for Existence and Population Growth in Aphids
Students examine the population of aphids. They identify adaptations they have made for their environment. They make predictions, test their hypothesis and collect information that either proves or disproves their theory.
Curated OER
Deep Jungle: New Frontiers
Students study the world's rainforests for unusual plant and animal species. They explore how biologists use infrared cameras to explore jungles.
Curated OER
How Can We Observe Genetic Variation Within a Species?
Students observe intra-species variation by completing standard microbial streaking procedures. They collect data from which they draw observations and complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
Biology: Natural Selection
Students explore evolutionary processes and theories using the spotted fish applet. They observe what happens to fish in a closed environment with both food and predators. Students run the model several times and answer questions about...
Curated OER
Scientists and Inventors
Fourth graders investigate scientists and inventors. For this science lesson, 4th graders discuss inventors and scientists. Students research their chosen inventor or scientists and write a report about that person.
Museums Victoria
Melbourne Museum: Evolution
Although this is an education kit intended to accompany an exhibition on evolution at this museum. it is useful for high school Biology classes for its excellent background information on the latest ideas about the theory of evolution,...
Discovery Education
Discovery Education: Evolution
Discovery School provides a lesson plan on evolution by having students make a timeline of the history of evolution. This timeline will have dates and, above or below the dates, will provide details about the people who have played major...
