What educators are saying

I loved this resource and it helped me a lot since I didn't have time to prepare material. Thank you.
These activities were extremely helpful in allowing the students to explore homologous, analogous, and embryology. They were engaged and asked many good questions. They really had good discussions when comparing the embryos. Another great resource!!

    Description

    NO PREP! SAVE BIG when you combine 4 evolution evidence activities!

    Please click VIEW PREVIEW (above) to take a closer look at each resource!

    This bundle combines 4 evidence of evolution activities, including:

    • Homologous Structures: Compare and Contrast Activity
    • Vestigial Structures: Reading, Analysis, and Graphic Organizer
    • Embryological Evidence: Sorting and Predicting Activity
    • DNA and Protein Evidence: Paper Lab

    Descriptions:

    Embryological Evidence Sorting Activity - Engaging analysis of embryological evidence - students enjoy trying to match cards of embryos in early development to their species. It's challenging but fun! In this activity, students will:

    • Follow step-by-step instructions to try to match 3 different embryological stages of 6 different species (18 total cards)
    • Answer follow-up analysis questions

    Vestigial Structures Reading, Analysis, and Graphic Organizer (includes Google version) - High interest and thought-provoking - a fun NGSS resource! In this activity, students will:

    • Read a 2-page humorous and high-interest article about 10 vestigial structures
    • Complete a graphic organizer about each trait and its prior purpose
    • Respond to 6 thought-provoking analysis questions

    Homologous Structures Coloring Activity with Analysis - Students find that even though the FUNCTIONS are different, the STRUCTURES of vertebrate forelimbs are similar. In this activity, students will:

    • Color code the bones in the forelimbs of 6 animals to observe their similarity
    • Compare and contrast STRUCTURE and FUNCTION of the forelimbs by completing tables and answering questions

    Molecular (DNA and Proteins) Evidence of Evolution Activity (includes Google version) - Genetic evidence of evolution activity! In this resource, students will:

    • Read a brief and middle school-appropriate introduction about DNA and proteins
    • Examine differences in two DNA sequences of several different organisms
    • Complete a Claims-Evidence-Reasoning section about which vertebrates are most and least closely related to each other
    • Use the information to fill in blanks on a simple cladogram
    • Answer concluding analysis questions

    Teacher Notes:

    • All answer keys are included.
    • Please note: these PDF documents are not editable.

    Standards

    to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
    NGSSMS-LS4-3
    Analyze displays of pictorial data to compare patterns of similarities in the embryological development across multiple species to identify relationships not evident in the fully formed anatomy. Emphasis is on inferring general patterns of relatedness among embryos of different organisms by comparing the macroscopic appearance of diagrams or pictures. Assessment of comparisons is limited to gross appearance of anatomical structures in embryological development.
    NGSSHS-LS4-1
    Communicate scientific information that common ancestry and biological evolution are supported by multiple lines of empirical evidence. Emphasis is on a conceptual understanding of the role each line of evidence has relating to common ancestry and biological evolution. Examples of evidence could include similarities in DNA sequences, anatomical structures, and order of appearance of structures in embryological development.
    NGSSMS-LS4-2
    Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships. Emphasis is on explanations of the evolutionary relationships among organisms in terms of similarity or differences of the gross appearance of anatomical structures.
