Study Sheet - Evolution, Darwin and Natural Selection

A clear and concise 2-page study sheet on evolution and natural selection which covers all major topics typically taught in an upper middle school or lower high school biology course on this topic. Specifically, this product covers the the nature of adaptations, types of adaptations, Charles Darwin, process of natural selection, artificial vs. natural selection, evidence for evolution, and microevolution vs macroevolution. See below for further details.

This product is part of my Study Sheets line of resources, which aim to condense a large amount of curriculum content into a compact but detailed document, science CliffsNotes style! Study Sheet resources typically feature 3-5 pages of bullet point notes organized by subtopic, summary tables, and labeled diagrams to communicate information. Study sheets can be used by students before, during, and after a unit of study to review course material, clarify misconceptions, and study for assessments.

Study Sheet Contents:

• Adaptations
• 3 types of adaptations (structural, physiological, behavioral)
• Brief history of Charles Darwin
• Natural selection
• 5 types of selection (3 types of natural selection, 2 types of artificial selection)
• Evidence for evolution (fossils, genetics, embryology)
• Micro vs. macroevolution

Downloadable in 2 Formats:

• This product comes in 2 formats: a static PDF document and fully-editable Word document
