Speciation Guided Inquiry - Geographic and Reproductive Isolation
This EDITABLE product introduces the concept of speciation. Students can independently (or in pairs) analyze models and graphs to investigate and create explanations about how species are formed. Students will investigate: What exactly is a species?Pre and post zygotic barriersGeographic IsolationTemporal IsolationBehavioral IsolationEmbryo inviabilityHybrid reduced viabilityPunctuated equilibrium vs. GradualismThis is available in both a PDF and Microsoft Word document so you can modify and d

Speciation & Reproductive Isolation
Students begin with a starter that opens the conversation for causes of evolution. This is a collaborative activity where students will have a population of beetles. An earthquake occurs (geographic isolation) and separates the beetle population into east & west halves. Different events occur to these separated populations which leads to the creation of new species. Students then compare their beetles to the beetles of other students to observe how these different events led to the evoluti
