Abstract for the conference program
Of all of the biology standards, evolution (SB5) is one of the most difficult to model or test in the classroom. In fact, many teachers have to rely on the same evolution labs, if they have any laboratory activities in the unit at all. This interactive session will expose teachers to various new laboratory activities they can use to get students excited about evolution on an affordable budget. Teachers will learn how to simulate sediment deposition and fossilization as well as get to “dig” for their own fossils material. No one will leave empty handed!
