- Pick one student to be in charge of the teacher desktop computer
- Take attendance (done by sub using sheets on desk)
- Check seating chart and have all students in the wrong seat do plan B (see below)
- Have all students prepare themselves with a notebook and something to write with
- Watch this video (17 minutes) on evolution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcjgWov7mTM
- Make comic book about the moths from the video - what happened first? what changed that put pressure on a certain color? who survived? Make sure you use little baloons for their voices, have fun with it.
- Take some time to share your comics with the class one person at a time.
- Now check this out : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCXzcPNsqGA
- Write a response to this video: how is it like the other video? which video explained it better for you
- The more generations are born, the easier it is to study and witness evolution. What type of living things would be possible to see evolution and natural selection take place. What types of living things would be very difficult to view in a human lifetime (i.e. long living things)
- If you have time after all of this, you may read the chapter on evolution from the green science book (dont' worry, you dont' have to do any questions) and explain how it is similar or different from these videos. Which way helps you learn the most?
Plan B-
Read the chapter on Evolution from the green text book in the office. Answer all checkup questions and end of chapter questions. Also, do two column notes from all vocabulary words in the chapter.
