We have been learning about evolution, which has been very exciting. For this individual or pair mini-project, you will do the following:

• Decide on an animal or plant(but not humans) that you wish to learn more about
• Try to be creative and choose a unique animal/plant
• Research the evolutionary family tree of that specific animal
• Try to learn the evolutionary origins of your animal
• Include specific evolutionary adaptations of your animal
• Include a timeline so we know when everything happened
• Use phrases such as, “What did ________ evolve from?” when you do your research
• Make sure you understand the information you are including in your project
• Include pictures and diagrams that help to tell the story of your animal
• Present your information in a slide show (like PowerPoint) or on a small poster, 11″ x 17″, that’s the paper we often use for art
• Organize your information neatly and creatively
• Remember to reference websites used, including for images
• Have fun learning something new!
