It’s time to connect the dots from your brainstorming document! Think about the similarities and differences in what you discovered about natural selection and create a Mind Map to demonstrate those connections. You may draw your map by hand or use a tech tool of your choosing. Then, you will share your map with your classmates and provide feedback on your peers’ maps.
Procedure
After taking notes on the lab, article, and video, create a Natural Selection Mind Map using your Mind Map Brainstorming Document. Read the following list of words and concepts, and be sure to include those definitions and examples in your map:
Evolution (define)
Adaptation (define)
Genetic drift (define and provide an example)
Asexual reproduction (define, provide an example, and explain how they get variation)
Sexual reproduction (define, provide an example, and explain how they get variation)
Genetics (genotype and phenotype) and their role in natural selection
Darwin’s points of natural selection (provide an example of each)
Examples of positive effects
Examples of negative effects
Environmental or human-induced impact on populations
Add at least three (3) images or drawings throughout the timeline to represent your understanding of natural selection.
Bonus:
Include five (5) additional words or examples in your map.
Upload and submit your Mind Map in Canvas and upload it to [insert Padlet link here] as well. Due mm/dd/yyyy.
View all of your peers’ mind maps in Padlet and then give feedback on at least three maps of your choosing. Due mm/dd/yyyy.
*You may use a tech tool of your choice to create the Mind Map or draw it by hand using paper and pencil and then upload a picture of your drawing. View the following video for instructions on how to create a Mind Map using Google Drawings:
