Principles of Natural Selection

Description

This lesson focuses on the mechanisms of natural selection, detailing its four key principles: variation, inheritance, overproduction, and differential survival. Through activities and case studies, students will explore how these principles contribute to evolutionary change in populations. The lesson encourages critical thinking about the role of variation in survival and the inheritance of traits. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to explain these concepts and apply them in hypothetical scenarios, thus understanding the underlying processes that lead to evolution.
