In this lesson, students learn how the four points of natural selection drive the evolutionary patterns of a species. Students determine how to answer evolutionary questions through interpreting graphs and making connections among natural selection concepts. Students also discover how advantageous traits can increase the survival rate of a species, while unfavorable traits can lead to extinction. |

The modules are set to have students complete the previous module before they can view the next. However, if you want to prevent students from seeing an activity before they complete the previous one within a module, simply assign an “Available From” date to that assignment to lock students out until it is ready to be viewed. “The virtual environment provides students with the ability to work ahead or the flexibility to catch up on activities and assignments without penalty. Although some students see this as a benefit, others perceive it as an increase in workload and struggle to keep up with course expectations” (Beese, 2014).
