Middle School students recently participated in zoology lab activities. They predicted outcomes on natural selection and a peppered moth, advantageous traits and creature fitness, as well as primate adaptations and the importance of the opposable thumb.
Students also used their background knowledge on living things and access to resources on fossil dating, stacking up rock layers, and organism appearance then offered a “mya” (million years ago) and organism pictorial timeline. This practice leads students through sorting organisms and characteristics of organisms into the proper six kingdoms using the appropriately titled column and named organism.
