Humans in the Year 3000 Evolution Project

Evolution is a biological topic that many students find to be incredibly boring. This project helps to solve this issue by allowing students to show how our current actions will affect the way our species will look and act in the year 3000. The project helps to bust any misconceptions about evolution being a concept of the past.

Students get to choose from several interesting topics:

• video games (teenagers today spend most of their waking hours playing video games)

• TV (teens can spend days binge watching their favorite shows)

• the internet or usage of phone apps (teenagers practically live on the internet and have their phones attached to them all the time!)

• fast/processed food (due to how busy our lives have become a large portion of our population relies on fast/processed food).

. . . and they also get to choose how they want to present their information:

• an essay
• a video presentation
• an illustration
• a song

When you download this free file you receive a do now that probes students’ background knowledge and thoughts on evolution, detailed explanation of evolution project, rubric for project, and sample student project examples.
