Original PromptCreate a lesson on natural selection aligned to Amplify Science.
This learning resource focuses on the concepts of adaptive traits and environmental pressures in the context of population changes over time. Students will explore how these factors influence population distributions and the survival of species. The resource includes vocabulary matching to build foundational knowledge, a visual exploration exercise using graph data of species population from 1881 to 1961, guided analysis questions that allow students to interpret the trends shown in the graph, and a sequence modeling selection dynamics. Additionally, there are collaborative and independent tasks that encourage critical thinking about how environmental pressures affect traits and reproduction. Finally, students assess their understanding and reasoning through self-assessment activities.
