Theory+of+Evolution

Learning Unit #2
 * In this unit we will be studying the theory of evolution and the scientists that contributed to it. Many theorists contributed their ideas and beliefs towards this theory, but in this unit we will mainly focus on Charles Darwin and his theory of natural selection.

Task #1 There were many evolutionist besides Charles Darwin, please research a few using the search engine of your choice, and use this poll to vote on which one you found the most influential.

Task #2 Now that you have chosen an evolutionist that you found influential research them further online and create an interactive poster to share with the class using glogster. You should include their ideas and any experiments they used that supported or disproved them. Make sure that your poster includes at least three facts and a picture. Here is an example I made for Lamarck, or follow the Lamarck link.

Task #3 One of the most influential events leading to Darwin's theory of evolution was his voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle. Research his trip here, and create a Google Maps tour, highlighting at least three of his stops. Here is an example. Click here for the link if you can not view the example.
