How does natural selection lead to changes in a species over time?

Today students explored the genetic and environmental factors that play a part in natural selection using cards to model what might happen to a group of mice in a white sand environment over several generations. This activity is found in the text on pages 152-153. Students will collect data for part 2 tomorrow and complete the analyze and conclude questions.

For homework tonight, students will complete the 3 - column note taking assignment (statement of main idea, details, and reflection) for the last portion of their reading assignment in section 1, pages 154-156. I will check homework tomorrow.

Students received a handout in class today to help them plan their time for competing their research projects. The final report of the research is due on Feb. 28th.
