What educators are saying

This was a great introductory and hands-on activity for our unit on evolution. I will be using it again in future classes. Thank you!

Description

These print and go, low-to-no prep Science Circuit Stations are easy to implement with a few household items and provide a method for reinforcing life science that shows how science concepts flow across the curricula and are relatable in all aspects of life.

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

7 activities and one assessment aligned to NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) covering the following topics:

  • Survival of the fittest
  • Natural Selection
  • Different types of camouflage
  • The Industrial Revolution and the Peppered Moth
  • Types of speciation: allopatric, parapatric, peripatric, sympatric, and artificial
  • Alfred Russell Wallace

STUDENTS WILL:

  • Use prior knowledge about the theory of evolution by natural selection
  • Learn about science through using Social Studies (which includes history, current events and geography), Technology (computers and engineering), ELA (reading and writing), the Arts (music, art, PE/dance and debate), and Math
  • Participate in the following student-led stations:

Explorer: explore current events, historical figures and events, etc.

Researcher: research related topics using a computer, smart phone, ipad or other electronic device

Maker: engineer, design, build, assemble, and/or experiment with manipulatives

Scriber: write a response to a question or problem

Reader: answer questions related to a reading passage

Performer: participate in one of the many arts

Solver: use math skills to answer science related math problems

Scholar: an assessment piece that aligns with the lessons included in the Science Circuit

Standards

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.
