Darwin, his journey, evidence for evolution, cladograms--it's all in here. Use actual locks and boxes, OR use this fun lesson with a simple envelope system! Enough problems for 6 groups of students, or more if you use the problems in duplicate. I actually made different codes and problems for each group. With locks: utilizes 3, 3-digit locks, one MasterLock combination lock, four boxes, some paper, and a lot of fun!!
I got the locks and toolboxes at Dollar Tree, or I also bought inexpensive unfinished wooden boxes. Your students will love it and want more.
INCLUDES:
6 different codes to get your students started (hide in room somewhere)
6 different cladogram interpretation problem sets for box 2's combination.
6 different ciphers and comprehension/study questions for box 3's combination.
6 different map analysis problems for box 4's combination.
TWO DIFFERENT (1 min or 2 min) Speed Bump Cards (color-coded) for each group. (So fun to throw a team out for a minute or two--also color-coded)
Hint Tickets/Cards for all 3 boxes, color-coded so you can keep track of whom you have given hints to.

12 quotes--from Carl Sagan's photo of the dot to the first photo of Earth from space...all the way to the quotes from Mrs. Turton about the scientific method. Colorful Jellyfish (or space) photos fill the background. Great for classroom decorations, or to act as a companion to a novel study of The Thing About Jellyfish!
Colorful bulletin board that says "Keep Calm and Do Science" in periodic squares! Each square has the chemical symbol, etc. as well as a picture representing a product that can be made from the element.

Students fill out a chart with information about the layers of the atmosphere, and then they are able to create their own "Shrinky Dink" using shrink plastic (plastic not included). They can either trace the diagram on the left side of the page, or they can draw it from scratch!
After they draw it with colored pencils or fine point permanent marker, they can put it in the oven and watch it shrink! (I use a toaster oven in my classroom and do them one at a time, as the kids finish. They love watching them shrink!
Shrink plastic best price I have found: School Specialty this Grafix brand: https://store.schoolspecialty.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?minisite=10206&item=3185038
