Lesson Plan

This lesson plan outlines a natural selection lab activity using goldfish crackers. Students will make predictions in their K-W-L charts about how natural selection will impact populations of goldfish in different environments. They will then perform the lab in pairs, recording data on predation of different "types" of goldfish. Students will compare results with other groups and write a summary using vocabulary from the lesson. To assess learning, students will complete the "What I Learned" section of their K-W-L charts. The teacher will reflect on student understanding of how natural selection can drive evolution over generations.
