Students were provided a list of animals to choose from.  They had to research their animal, its adaptations, and its environment.  Based on human impact on the environment students then needed to determine what additional adaptations might be needed to overcome the impact.  They then needed to describe how we would know the animal evolved into something different if we were to find animal fossils.

Students were provided direct instruction and worked through Gizmo simulations to understand the content.  They used their knowledge of their animal and evidence of evolution to create a presentation document explaining what they learned.  Students were able to be creative in what adaptations they needed to acquire to survive the human environmental impact.  Students were also able to choose their presentation format: Scratch, Canva, or Google Slides.
