Identify natural selection
Middle school students identify the mechanisms and evidence of natural selection in this challenging Life Science worksheet on Adaptation and evolution. Teachers can use it to assess whether students understand how variation, heritability, and differential survival drive evolutionary change. The worksheet pairs well with case studies of observable evolution such as antibiotic resistance or peppered moths.
Learning objectives
- Identify the key components of natural selection in given scenarios
- Explain how variation and environment interact to produce differential survival
