Human Evolution Virutal Simulation Comparing Skulls of Hominoids

Worksheet and Activity based on the virtual lab found here: https://www.classzone.com/books/hs/ca/sc/bio_07/virtual_labs/virtualLabs.html

I created the worksheet with background information from the lab, background info from Nature. The students do a simulation to measure and collect data and observations about different hominoid skulls.

It is a case study where the students are a paleontologist that has found an unknown skull sample and must determine what species it belongs to. All written work is done in the worksheet in the spaces provided. (the students work cannot be saved in the simulation)

Then the students can solve an exam style problem, mark scheme attached.

Suitable for Human Evolution, Evidence for Evolution, Anthropogenesis

Attached is also a Natural Geographic 3 min video to introduce the different lineages and species.
