Description
This unit might be one of the most unique units on biological evolution that you will come across. This unit tells the story of how mammals evolved after the K-T extinction and how humans evolved. This unit delves deeply into natural history, continental drift, and climate change, showing how all of these contributed to human evolution. Finally, we tackle the topic of cultural evolution and how that is related to biological evolution. By understanding cultural evolution, evolutionary psychology, and biological evolution, students can come to a deep understanding of how evolution is still affecting populations today. This unit comes will all of the formative and summative assessments that you will need. It is backwards designed with both the MYP criteria and NGSS standards.
