In today's world of technology it is easier than ever to compile large sums of data. But once that data has been collected, it does not do much good if we do not know how to analyze and interpret it.
In this lesson, “Why Can’t You Leave Me Alone?” students explore the selective pressures that led to the evolution of parenting behavior in Dentrobatidae, or Poison Dart Frogs.
Amazing Adaptations is an in-class group activity that challenges students to think about how animals evolved their diverse adaptations via natural selection.
The goal of this laboratory activity is for students to analyze sample specimens from populations of stickleback fish looking at specific characteristics such as spine length and armor plating to interpret the conditions driving evolution.
