Grade: 10
Unit Title: Natural Selection
Sci Standard: Evolution occurs as populations’ heritable characteristics change across generations
and can lead opulations to become better adapted to their environments.

Vocab Practice Challenge: 4 min
1. You have 1 OR 2 numbers on your white board
that correspond (go with) the number of a
definition.
2. Work with your group on matching the correct
word with its definition. Look at the word bank
and write your answer on your board.
3. When ready, send 1 person up to write the word
into its definition

Answer questions
Check in about #1-2
#1: “Raw material” for Darwin’s theory of
evolution???
#2: Speculation???
Write your answers to #1-2 on the whiteboard
and show it to the class.
Partner work
Ask each other:
Where did you find that answer?
How do you know that?
Check answers for #1-4, move onto #5-8.
#7-8 on Review Test
Can a bird grow its beak to adapt to its
environment over a lifetime?
Is a bird like Pinnochio???
Do we agree with Lamarck and acquired traits?
As you watch these scientists studying the
effect of a drought, a selective pressure, on the
finches, answer the following:
1)Did the finches change their beak size in one
generation? Did the birds grow longer beaks?
2)Did the average length of beaks change from

According to natural selection, a species that
doesn’t have necessary adaptations to
changing environments will most likely:
A. become dormant (sleep/hibernate)
B. reproduce
C.become extinct
D.fossilize
Answer
C.become extinct
Explain
A species that doesn’t have necessary
adaptations to changing environments will
most likely go extinct. Beneficial traits help
organisms survive and are passed on.
However, if organisms never adapt, never
become better, they are unable to live long
enough to survive and reproduce (make
babies).
