Test (not completed) Overview (not yet created) Instructional Notes 1. Darwin Paradigm Activity (1 day - 50 min) 1. Pre Activity Class Discussion: Q1: Begin discussion with asking students where lions and kangaroos live. (Lions live in the grasslands of Africa and kangaroos live in the grasslands of Australia. - Species vary globally.) Q2: Where do snakes live? What kind of snakes do we have? (Species vary locally.) Q3: What do wooly mammoths look like? What do elephants look like? Did elephants live the same time as wooly mammoths? Do wooly mammoths live with elephants today? (Species vary over time.) 2. Activity: Set up: Post world map at front of the room highlighting the names of the major areas where Darwin explored: Europe, South America, Galapagos Islands, Australia, Africa. In classroom, set up 6 stations with pictures of animals and plants: Extinct Organisms, Europe, South America, Galapagos Islands, Australia, Africa. Materials needed: Pictures of animals and plants, worksheets Student groups move around the room as they observe the different animals and plants in different continents. Each group will whiteboard their observations of the animals in the country of their group. 3. Post-activity discussion In large circle, students can look at the other – groups’ observations. Use leading questions to help the students draw the following conclusions: Species vary locally, globally, and over time. 2. Natural Selection - Jelly Bellicus (2-3 50 min days) 1. Pre Activity Discussion: Questions for Jelly Bellicus- Whiteboard
