Evolution
This is for a 100 minute lesson, but there are two tasks which could be split over two 50 min lessons.
The Timeline Poster is one activity and the Darwin text based activity is the second activity.
The text may be too textual for low ability or low reading age students, my low reading age group had an LSA and they were ACE!
TES PICKS
Adaptation
Put the station cards from the PPT file around the room. Students then have copies of the station cards from the word file and have to move around the room completing the cards.
Helper sheets are for any LSA's you may have
