Description

This editable lesson teaches students all about Evolution by Natural Selection.

This resource can be useful for distance learning, virtual learning, hybrid learning or as no-prep substitute plans for middle school science.

The lesson will also give helpful examples and vocabulary. Once the student works through learning the theory and vocabulary, there is a digital choice board with three levels of assessments to determine the understanding of the student.

This resource also comes with a teacher guide which includes tips on how to assign the lesson as well as an answer key.

The vocabulary covered in this resource includes: natural selection, adaptation, evolution, variation, fossil, extinct.

Engaging Evolution Natural Selection Digital Lesson
Rated 5 out of 5
March 19, 2026
Met expectations
Great value
Standards-aligned
This Evolution by Natural Selection Digital Lesson and Choice Board was an outstanding resource for my Texas biology evolution unit. As a STAAR-focused biology teacher, I found this digital lesson perfectly aligned to TEKS covering mechanisms of evolution including natural selection, adaptation, and survival of the fittest. The choice board gave students meaningful agency in how they engaged with the content, which significantly increased motivation and participation. The internet activities and PDF format provided flexible delivery options for both in-class and remote settings. Students completed the choice board activities enthusiastically and demonstrated a stronger understanding of natural selection concepts afterward. Adding a brief written reflection prompt connecting the lesson to real-world examples of evolution would add depth. Overall, a high-quality and creatively designed evolution resource I enthusiastically recommend to biology teachers.

My students were engaged in this activity and asked for more like it! It is very comprehensive for evolution. I will use this resource again next year.

Gave students a variety of ways to show what they learned. Of course, they liked some of the activities better than others. However, having the variety allowed the students to make connections that they may not have made otherwise.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-LS4-3
Analyze displays of pictorial data to compare patterns of similarities in the embryological development across multiple species to identify relationships not evident in the fully formed anatomy. Emphasis is on inferring general patterns of relatedness among embryos of different organisms by comparing the macroscopic appearance of diagrams or pictures. Assessment of comparisons is limited to gross appearance of anatomical structures in embryological development.
NGSSMS-LS4-1
Analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of life forms throughout the history of life on Earth under the assumption that natural laws operate today as in the past. Emphasis is on finding patterns of changes in the level of complexity of anatomical structures in organisms and the chronological order of fossil appearance in the rock layers. Assessment does not include the names of individual species or geological eras in the fossil record.
NGSSMS-LS4-2
Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships. Emphasis is on explanations of the evolutionary relationships among organisms in terms of similarity or differences of the gross appearance of anatomical structures.
