Description
Scientists gather evidence of evolution to support their theory. In this lesson, students will learn about DNA and how comparative genomics is used to study the similarities and differences in organisms to show how closely they may be related.
This is an interactive lesson! Interactive lessons guide students through science content, without the overwhelm, so it helps them to retain the information.
The lesson is broken into chunks with embedded activities to help them process the information.
These are great for lessons, science centers, flipped classrooms, review, and more.
They are a great way to take evidence of evolution notes.
A print and digital version is included!
Evidence of Evolution DNA Interactive Lesson Covers:
- theory of evolution
- evolution definition
- DNA
- DNA structure
- purpose of studying DNA
- genes
- traits
- mutations
- DNA sequencing
- comparative genomics
- molecular clocks
- limitations for using DNA as evidence for evolution (including the idea of common design)
- and more!
Included is a link to view an outside resource that covers how students can do their own DNA sequencing. It’s a little advanced for middle school students, but it’s great to expose them to this technology!
Evidence of Evolution DNA Interactive Activities Include:
- drag-and-drop activities
- KWL
- exploring DNA sequencing
- type in the text box
- and more!
31 slides in all and an answer key is included!
When you purchase this product, you will be given access to a link that will allow you to open the file that is compatible with Google Slides™. You will then be able to share this with your students. If you’d like, there is a PPT version as well!
