Adaptation - Grade 11

Through this fully resourced lesson students will describe the terms species fitness and adaptation through a range of differentiated starter activities requiring reading comprehension. They will then compare mimicry and camouflage by looking at a number of different examples including how antibiotic resistance shows evolution by natural selection. They will then finish the lesson by exploring spandrels as a consequence of adaptation. Students will also have the opportunity to apply their knowledge and understanding to exam style questions throughout this lesson.
