Evolution and the Emergence of Species

In this lesson, students will be learning about interesting ancient organisms found within our oceans millions of years ago. Students will complete a card sort activity to elicit their thinking of how fossils are formed as well as how species evolve. They will then discover why the fossil record does not provide evolutionary evidence for all species.
