Topic 9-

In this unit we will examine evidence that supports the Theory of Evolution. Students will study Charles's Darwin's important observations that he made while visiting the Galapagos Islands such as Natural Selection and Survival of the Fittest, which help support the Theory of Evolution. Students will perform a state lab that simulates variation within a species and survival of the fittest. Students will also classify living things based on similarities and be able to create a dichotomous key to name a species.
