Description
With this foldable and interactive notebook activity, it's easy to include both input (the foldable notes) and output where students process and display their learning in a circle map. The foldable is a great way to organize information about the evidence for evolution and students will enjoy using it to make their circle maps. My students loved making the maps, and every single one was unique.
This classroom-tested lesson provides everything you need to give students the time and clear expectations they need to produce creative work that solidifies their learning.
Details: This download includes foldable notes for students to gather information about four types of evidence for evolution (homologous structures, vestigial structures, DNA, and the fossil record). There are two options included for the inside page: a blank page and a guided notes page focusing on how each type of evidence supports the theory of whale evolution. Possible sources for filling in the notes include the textbook, a power point presentation (not included), or a class discussion. There’s also a video recommendation included in the teacher directions.
Once students have completed the foldable notes, they get to make a circle map! This is a fantastic activity for them to process their learning and decide how to represent the information in a creative way. The power point presentation included with your download will give students directions as well as examples of circle maps completed by students in my 7th grade classroom.
It can be hard to find the time for an output lesson, but it has a huge impact both on student learning and engagement. The balance in the classroom shifts when the kids are the ones deciding what information to include and how to organize and present it, and it frees you up to assess understanding, celebrate great thinking and learning, and work one-on-one those who need extra help.

This is a great independent practice resource for my Biology remediation class. I used it to review this specific topic: evidence of evolution. Students were interested and engaged.
I recently utilized this with my 8th grade students. We have not done anything like this before so it was a little bit of a learning curve for them. I think this resource was truly beneficial to them as it made them think and organize their understanding. I will definitely be using this in the future.
I had students in small groups do the circle map on a piece of butcher paper so they were big and viewable. The foldable was great the formatting made it easy! Thank you for such a great resource!
I purchased this resource to try and use with distance learning. I was able to use the circle chart in order to see my students learning. Obviously the foldable is a little more difficult to use during distance learning, but I can see how it would be helpful in a regular in class setting.
If you are willing to put in a little work and not just wanting to throw this activity at the students during e-learning, I would recommend it.
This would be a great activity in class. Unfortunately that wasn't an option for me.
I will look to use this again next year and can update here my thoughts for the inclass activity :)
Great activity for students to be able to show what they know in the circle map!
great resource. students enjoyed the activity!
Great resource. Thanks
Useful, thanks
