Natural Selection and Evolution
This 10th-grade packet guides students through the concepts of natural selection and genetic drift, helping them develop models to explain how these processes drive changes in populations over time, including the development of biological resistance.
“SB6.e: Develop a model to explain the role natural selection plays in causing biological resistance, including antibiotic resistance. SB6.d: Develop a model to illustrate the role of natural selection and genetic drift in changing populations over time.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this packet as a 45-minute introduction to natural selection or as a review activity.
- Discussion question: How can understanding natural selection help us combat antibiotic resistance?
- For struggling readers, pre-teach key vocabulary and provide sentence frames for model development.
- Advanced learners can research and present a case study of observed evolution in a specific population.
