What educators are saying

This was a great resource! I used it as an introduction to our Evolution unit. The slides are well made and engaging. Highly recommend!
Love the resources from this author and see documented learning growth from my class! Easy to implement and use.

Description

May the best beak win as students fight for survival of the fittest in this lesson about mutation, adaptation and evolution by natural selection. Charles Darwin would be so proud!

WHAT'S INCLUDED in this 1-2 DAY LESSON:

19 EDITABLE PowerPoint slides with bellwork, instructions, notes and embedded answer keys to handouts

• 6 NON-EDITABLE PDF pages that align with the PowerPoint

• Mutation Bird Beak Lab Activity

STUDENTS WILL:

Learn about how mutation leads to adaptation and Charles Darwin's contributions to the theory of evolution

• Demonstrate evoution by natural selection as they partipcate in a bird beak lab

Standards

NGSSMS-LS3-1
Develop and use a model to describe why structural changes to genes (mutations) located on chromosomes may affect proteins and may result in harmful, beneficial, or neutral effects to the structure and function of the organism. Emphasis is on conceptual understanding that changes in genetic material may result in making different proteins. Assessment does not include specific changes at the molecular level, mechanisms for protein synthesis, or specific types of mutations.
NGSSMS-LS4-4
Construct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individuals’ probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment. Emphasis is on using simple probability statements and proportional reasoning to construct explanations.
NGSSMS-LS4-6
Use mathematical representations to support explanations of how natural selection may lead to increases and decreases of specific traits in populations over time. Emphasis is on using mathematical models, probability statements, and proportional reasoning to support explanations of trends in changes to populations over time. Assessment does not include Hardy Weinberg calculations.
