Evolution Virtual Classroom Day 8

Last Day of Javelina Week

There are three conditions needed for natural selection to occur are variation, fitness, and inheritability In other words are differences present, do the differences help a species survive, and can the difference be passed onto offspring.  Looking at the image below, what is the evidence of natural selection? 

Virtual Classroom 3.27.20

How fit is your Javelina?

One of the three conditions that must be met for natural selection is a difference in fitness. The different traits must help the individual organism survive and reproduce.  How did a different trait help one cactus survive and reproduce?  What evidence in the picture shows that the cactus is reproducing?

The Key to Evolution

Evolution shows a change in traits passed down from one organism to the next. Watch this quick video of Bill Nye explaining evolution using emojis. What is the key according to the video that makes evolution possible? 

Please answer the blog question with a complete sentence.

Change over time

Evolution is the change of inherited characteristics over time. Today think about things such as technology that has changed over time. Give an example of something humans use that we have changed over time.

What we are doing in Science

We have finished up on Genetics. Now we look at the topic of evolution.

So what will science class look like coming up. 
It will be a lot like "Snow Day Science" 

We will use this blog, and google classroom, and the youtube channel. 

Below is an example of a past snow day science to give you an idea of how it is going to look.
