OutcomeI will create a fish with certain inherited traits and explain how my fish is adapted to its environment.
A Fish Story: Survival of the Fittest Part 1
Pick one card from each container. (7 total)
Design a new fish species that contains all of the traits on the cards.
Draw the environment the fish would best survive in.
Answer the questions and glue them on your poster
A Fish Story: Survival of the Fittest Part 2
Pick a random mutation card from your teacher.
Quickly add a mutated fish drawing to your poster.
Answer the questions and glue them on your poster.

Natural Selection, Evolution, & Classification
Did you know…
Your DNA is 98% identical to a chimpanzee!
Your DNA is 99.9% identical to the person sitting next to you!
We determine this relatedness by comparing DNA nucleotides
Did you know…Species that live now are different from
species in the past. We can tell this by looking at fossils. • Birds are believed to
be evolved from dinosaurs!
• Whales and boa constrictors have pelvic bones…but no legs!
Variation
Individuals of the same species have different traits
What can increase variation?
Crossing Over in MeiosisSexual reproductionMutations
Why is variation important?
Coral Bleaching
Adaptation Beneficial variation in a
behavior or trait that an individual is born with.
Allows them to survive in their environment
Natural SelectionIndividuals better
adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more often than less well adapted individuals
What do you need for natural selection to occur?1. Variation caused by mutation2. Environmental pressure
Climate Predators Lack of resources
3. Selection of certain inheritable traits
4. Adaptation over many generations
EvolutionChange in a population over
timeResults from natural
selection
ButterflyActivity
Design your Butterfly
Goal: Design a butterfly that cannot be found
Grab a white sheet of paper Design a butterfly- You decide
color, size, wing shape Hide your butterfly in the room
(think about the best environment for your butterfly)
