The information in the evolution unit I best understood was the concept of natural selection and how it drives the process of evolution.
The topic that was most challenging for me to understand was the molecular evidence for evolution and how genes and DNA play a role in determining similarities between species.
A strategy that I could use to explain how scientists use patterns in the fossil record as evidence for evolution is to create a timeline or visual representation showing the gradual changes in species over time.
