Evolution and Natural Selection Bundle

Description:
This bundle now includes 11 hands-on labs, simulations, and projects designed to explore adaptation, survival, trait frequency, and the evidence for evolution. Students engage in interactive simulations, collaborative projects, and literacy-based lessons to investigate natural selection, adaptive radiation, extinction, and evolutionary case studies. Perfect for Grades 5–12 Biology, Life Science, and Applied Math classes, these activities develop analytical thinking, modeling skills, and conceptual understanding of evolution.

Key Features:

• Includes simulations, hands-on labs, collaborative projects, and literacy-based activities
  
• Covers natural selection, adaptation, survival strategies, extinction, and evidence for evolution
  
• Ready-to-use instructions, materials lists, worksheets, and guided student activities
  
• Flexible for classroom labs, STEM rotations, project-based learning, or enrichment
  
• Designed for Grades 5–12, aligned with Life Science and Biology standards
  

Suggested Grade Range: 5th–12th

Subjects: Biology, Life Science, Applied Math, Earth Sciences, Environment, STEM
