Looking at the graph what is it showing you?

What is changes in habitat range size

Poison dart frogs are able to release poison through their skin. 

Beneficial adaptation

Natural selection and evolution is a main staple to science today when it comes to biology. This theory has shown us multiple ways that we are related to one another. 

What is the theory of evolution

300

Humans intervene with nature

What is Artificial Selection

These are different birds that can be found in Missouri. All of these birds have slightly different diets. Why do they all look different yet they live in the same state?

Answers will vary

Looking at this graph, it shows the bird population overtime. This bird population increased because of what reason?

The environment changing to more of a yellow color, or the environment changed in the yellow birds favor.

Elk are known for their sheer size of their antlers. They are also known for their large necks to support their large antlers. They have been known to get stuck in-between trees.

What is harmful adaptations

This picture shows an accurate representation of:

Evolution

400
Pick favorable traits to continue getting those favorable traits in future generations. While the other traits that are non-favorable are not included in future traits.

What is selective breeding

400

A population of mice live in a rocky environment.

  1. Identify the environmental pressure.


  1. What will happen to this population of mice over time?

1. Rocky environment

2.  The darker mice will reproduce and survive while the lighter color mice will start to decline

400

What is this graph telling you about the male singing birds?

The environment changed more towards not attracting mates through singing. 

400

Pandas are known for being very clumsy and are very difficult to breed. 

Harmful adaptation

400

This image accurately shows us a real scenario of:

Natural selection

500

Fossils at a deeper layer of rock are older compared to the organisms on the top layer of rock. This is important because something tells us the reason. 

What is Law of Superposition

500

Wolves are very territorial. They

will fight other wolves who have

entered their space. The 

strongest fighters keep the best 

territory.  

  1. Identify the environmental pressure. 

  2. What will happen to the wolf population over time? 

1. Territory changes

2. The wolves will become more territorial over time

500

Scientist are worried about this graph, why should they be worried? 

This graph is showing rising temperatures throughout the world. They should be worried because animals can't adapt that quickly to rising temperatures.

Racoon's are very nimble and ellusive. They are known for stealing food and able to survive harsh winters and summers. 

Beneficial adaptation
