Lessons from Evolution

MUSEUM INFORMATION: " Lessons in Evolution " is a worksheet to explore evolution through the many different examples in the Beneski Museum of Natural History. • The museum does NOT provide copies of Lessons in Evolution. Please prepare copies for your students. • The Beneski Museum of Natural History displays the fossil remains of many different creatures throughout different periods of life. • While exploring the exhibition, encourage your students to look above their heads to see specimens displayed at different levels of the museum. • The Beneski Museum of Natural History can accommodate up to 45 students and chaperones at a time. Please consider splitting into smaller subgroups when completing the Lessons in Evolution activity. • This lesson was designed as an extra-credit assignment; therefore, it can be used for a class assignment or an independent assignment. • When your students arrive at the museum, they will be given a brief greeting by a museum staff member. After this greeting is a good time for you to talk to your students and chaperones about the Lessons in Evolution activity. • " Lessons in Evolution " asks students to look critically at specimens and think in what ways did the animals change and what reasons pushed these evolutionary changes. • The museum asks that students refrain from leaning on any of the glass cases while working. We recommend providing students with clipboards or notebooks to lean on. • " Lessons in Evolution " has a brief set of directions printed at the top. • Make sure students have a basic idea of what to look at when they arrive. For some of the questions they will need a basic understanding of animal anatomy. • Distinguish whether you would like your students to form complete sentences or not. The worksheet does not specify. • Discuss with students noticeable evolutionary traits such as feet to hooves, to give students a more focused look.
