Activity 1: evolution labWhy are there so many different forms of life on earth? How are we all related? See how evolution connects you to everything that's alive and everything that's ever lived.
You will work in PAIRS for this activity. You will be completing an online lab/simulation showing you how organisms are related to each other. You will be completing the first THREE missions only. You will start by watching the video titled EVOLUTION 101. You will then click on Mission 1. Begin each mission by watching an additional video giving you some background information. Then complete the 3 tasks associated with each mission. You will need to DRAW each tree that you complete. At the end of each class, you will need to show your instructor what you have accomplished. The website WILL NOT save your work. If you do not get your work signed off by your instructor, you will have to redo your work. You must complete all three missions, each mission has 3 tasks. |
Activity 2: REd Queen hypothesisCoevolutionYou will work in pairs for this activity. Take notes in your ISN as your instructor reviews some basic concepts of natural selection, evolution and coevolution. Then complete the Red Queen Hypothesis Game. Record the data for your group on your data sheet. Turn in your data sheet to your teacher. Complete the analysis questions in your packet.
