Whale’s Tail Investigation
We are looking at evidence for evolution by investigating whales. Student will use the evidence they collect to address the following hypothesis:
“Whales evolved from terrestrial (land) mammals.”
Confirm or refute this claim using at least 5 pieces of evidence from your investigations (fossil record, POGIL, video, PPT). Provide a reason that each piece supports your position.

How does evolution really work?
We watched this video in both honors and CP classes and journaled in our notebooks on the following two questions (for a notebook stamp):
1. What are the four parts of the theory of natural selection?
2. How does overproduction of offspring effect competition?
3. What does survival of the fittest mean?
4. What does differential survival and reproduction mean?
Who was Charles Darwin?
We watched this video in both honors and CP classes and journaled in our notebooks on the following two questions (for a notebook stamp):
What was Darwin’s conclusion about evolution?
Why was Darwin reluctant to share his finding on evolution?
How Did Life Begin?
After doing some research on our phones about how and when life began on Earth, we watched this video and had a classroom discussion about it:
