Natural Selection - Introduction to natural selection and the Chi square method of statistical analysis. Replacing Missing Links in the Evolutionary Chain - This lesson challenges students to examine the evolution of various species of hominids from their earliest existence approximately 4.5 million years ago to today. Species and Systems - Activity in which students apply systems criteria to any species they choose. In this activity, students actively participate as one of three predator species as they attempt to capture as many individuals as possible of four prey species. In this lesson, students learn about new technologies being used to update what is known about human evolution and migration.
Students then compare the new theories to the traditional knowledge.
Tracking the Dinosaurs - The learners will calculate size and hypothesize the speed of various dinosaurs as they explore theories of dinosaur growth and movement to form their own theories that can be explored further.
