Warm Up - Read this article on Vestigial Organs and answer the questions from projector in your warm up folder. Next, as a simulation of natural selection, we went outside to hunt down some wacky mac. The purpose of the the simulation is to show how nature selects for a specific species. We finished up our notes from page 54 in our notebook on Natural Selection and Adaptations. If you were absent, here are the notes.
The handout you received today, titled "Darwin's 5 Points of Natural Selection" is a review of the theories used to support Darwin. You can find this handout here if you lost it, it is due next class. The link has 2 pages, we are only doing page 1.
Finally, we completed an activity simulating natural selection using the Peppered Moths and Industrial Revolution. The website for this activity can be found here. Students clicked through the website and answered questions on the Peppered Moths on page 55 in their notebooks. Here is the handout from the Peppered Moth activity.
