In this unit, students will construct explanations and design solutions.
Priority Standard
Middle School Earth Systems Science
MS-LS4-4 Biological Evolution: Unity and DiversityConstruct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individuals’ probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment.
MS-LS4-6 Biological Evolution: Unity and DiversityUse mathematical representations to support explanations of how natural selection may lead to increases and decreases of specific traits in populations over time.

We are learning to...
- read and construct histograms.
- apply data from histograms to explain how natural selection can cause an increase or decrease of specific traits over time.
- understand the process of natural selection.
