Darwin's Observations

EQ: How did the observations made by Charles Darwin on his voyage lead to his development of the theory of evolution by natural selection?

Monday students tracked Darwin's voyage through the Galapagos Islands using his journal entries. The annotated map should be in the notes section of student notebooks for me to check later.

During class, students recorded notes in the three column format (main idea, details, reflection) for pages 147 - 150. This assignment should have been completed for homework last night (Mon.).

Tuesday we continued out notes for pages 150-151 and participated in an activity to model natural selection. If you have not finished your notes through page 151, please do.

Homework:
Please submit your project journal for me to check by Wednesday. You should have your research plan copied in your journal and any observations and reflections relating to your work so far. Remember to use pen and date all entries. Journals submitted after that will earn a late grade.

We plan to go to the park for data collection on Thursday or Friday during class. More info tomorrow.
There is a Saturday work day scheduled for Feb. 3 from 10:00- 1:00. More later.
